The University of Huddersfield offers courses in electronic, electrical, communications and mechanical engineering; physics; computer science (including AI and cyber security); as well as environmental and analytical sciences, and environmental monitoring and modelling.

 

Their research centres are dedicated to areas such as advanced materials, ultra-precision manufacturing, autonomous and intelligent systems, climate-resilient societies, structural & condition-based monitoring, beyond 5G communications and technical textiles for cross-sectoral applications. Research is on areas such as dune modelling on Mars, structural monitoring of space assets, computational fluid dynamics, remote sensing applications, optics for astronomical instrumentation, ions and plasmas for ion engines, materials, AI-assisted antenna designs, radio frequency, and high-performance chemical-functionalisation textiles of the future.

 

Huddersfield is home to the Ion Beam Centre, the Centre for Precision Technologies, the Future Metrology Hub, the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre, the STAR lab (Systems, Telecommunications Antenna Research) and the Technical Textiles Research Centre.
