School of Computing and Engineering

The School of Computing and Engineering is an exciting place in which to learn and work. We deliver an inspirational learning experience and undertake pioneering research with a practical emphasis. We believe strongly in the quality of the support we offer to our students, employers and all our working partners. We have an excellent record for graduate

employability with 87% of our students going on to employment or further study within six months of graduation (DLHE 2011).

Inspiring

Our staff are innovative and creative practitioners who offer expertise in their field and bring energy and enthusiasm to their work. With their established industry links allowing us to continually refresh and update our teaching and research activities, we keep pace with an ever changing and increasingly technological world. This, along with our modern facilities, has allowed us to establish a reputation for the quality and professionalism of our courses and teaching.

The professional ethos of the School is important and personal development is encouraged and supported. Over 20% of our academic staff in the School are Professors and a further 65% hold doctorates. In addition, the University of Huddersfield is the first higher education institution to have 100% recognition by the Higher Education Academy; all academic staff have been awarded Fellows of the Academy.

Innovative

Research in the School has grown significantly over the last few years, through increased external funding, professorial and readership appointments. In the past year we have earned more than £2.5M in external project grants, published 48 journal papers and 78 conference papers. We graduated eight PhD and two MPhil students and enrolled 32 new research students in order to reach our vastly expanded research student target of 120.

Most recently we have invested in significant new infrastructure including a Nanolab and a High Performance Computing cluster (in collaboration with the Science and Technology Facilities Council), as well as laboratories for optics and diagnostics. Our research areas include the prestigious EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacture in Advanced Metrology and the Institute for Railway Research.

We believe in the importance of professional skills and accredited qualifications that can help our students rapidly advance in their chosen career. As a result, many of our taught courses benefit from accreditation through leading professional bodies: the BCS, IMechE or the IET.

International

We have over 2000 full and part-time students from more than 60 countries; taught by over 100 academic staff across two academic departments: Informatics and Engineering and Technology, supported by over 50 administrative and technical staff. In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise, RAE2008, a substantial portion of our research was recognised as „World Leading‟ or „Internationally Excellent‟.

All of our full-time degree courses offer a work placement year (internship). We place up to 200 students each year, both in the UK and overseas. Examples of companies with whom our students have recently been placed include Cummins Turbo Technologies, Mercedes Benz, Nestle, Red Bull Technology, Jagex, Hewlett Packard, Sega Europe, Yorkshire Water and Mars Information Services.

The University‟s vision is, „To be an inspiring, innovative university of international renown‟. The University‟s achievements were recognised by the award of the Times Higher

Education University of the Year for 2013. This follows hot on the heels of its success at the awards last year where it collected the Entrepreneurial University of the Year award.

The University of the Year is awarded to „an institution that has demonstrated exceptional performance in the past academic year‟ providing evidence of „particular bold, imaginative and innovative initiatives that have advanced the institution‟s reputation‟. Just some of those initiatives are:

 A commitment to our students with nationwide top 10 ratings for student satisfaction and graduate employability as well as a top 10 rating for financial security.

 The opening of the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre, a collaboration with conglomerate 3M to foster business partnerships leading to new research, technology transfer and entrepreneurial ideas.

 The award of a Queen‟s Award for Enterprise – International Trade as well as a top 10 position in the 2012 International Student Barometer.

 A commitment to excellence in teaching – Huddersfield is the only University in the UK where 100 per cent of academic staff are fellows of the Higher Education Academy – which provides professional recognition of their teaching abilities. These factors, combined with a continued commitment to being „a university that is at the heart of its home town‟ and a strong commitment to be a great employer makes the University an interesting and rewarding place to work.

The University‟s staff are involved in scholarship, research and reach-out activities. We want to attract and retain the best staff, provide opportunities for them to remain professionally engaged and up-to-date. We were one of the first universities in the country to achieve institutional recognition under the Investors in People Award in 1999 and we have

maintained this standard ever since. We are committed to the development and support of our staff. In the Quality of Working Life Survey, looking at the satisfaction and well-being of our staff, the University of Huddersfield has higher scores across all six factors than the Higher Education benchmark, showing lower levels of stress and greater satisfaction with working conditions than the benchmark data.

Our striking town centre campus straddles the refurbished Huddersfield Narrow Canal and offers extensive views of the wooded Pennine foothills. The campus combines both new and historic buildings, and since 2008 £73 million has been invested in new facilities and

buildings for our students. The University has won Civic Trust Awards for the imaginative refurbishment of historic mill buildings for the teaching of Computing, Engineering and Architecture. However, we are also very proud of our contemporary architecture. Our £17 million Business School building opened in 2010 and a £22.5 million Student Central Building which opened in January 2014 providing new sports, leisure, learning and catering facilities.

Huddersfield

The University is located close to the centre of the thriving West Yorkshire town of

Huddersfield. Huddersfield has an extensive range of new retail and social developments with many new shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Near to areas of outstanding natural beauty publicised in TV programmes such as “Last of the Summer Wine” and “Where the Heart Is” we are also in easy reach of Leeds and Manchester. Both are just 45 minutes by road and with quicker access via the regular cross Pennine rail service. Huddersfield is

(16)

surrounded by a number of attractive villages in the Holme and Colne valleys and within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales, the Peak District and the major urban centres of Leeds and Manchester. The cost of housing compares very favourably with other regions in Britain and the choice of where to live is outstanding. The town is well known for its musical traditions, including the world famous Huddersfield Choral Society and the internationally renowned Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. The Lawrence Batley Theatre and a large sports stadium host various cultural and sporting events respectively.
