The beginning of March heralds the start of the UCAS Fair “circuit”, which for universities signifies the start of the recruitment cycle for September 2013 entry. For the University of Huddersfield, the first fair at the Manchester Central Convention Centre is always exciting as this is where we get to launch our new undergraduate prospectus. The students don’t hold back and we always get some very immediate and honest feedback!
