If you’re considering a postgraduate course, Postgraduate Study Fairs are a great way to narrow down your search and to systematically discover all the options from a Master’s to a PhD. This is why the University of Huddersfield welcomes current and prospective students to its PG Study Fairs throughout the year. Want to know how to get most out of attending a fair? Then read on...
Uncertain, confused and hesitant? As a postgraduate research (PGR) student I understand the stomach-ache you can get when considering all your options. Making the wrong decision can cost you a pretty penny. This is why I always recommend attending a Postgraduate Study Fair to talk to current postgraduate students and staff to get more accurate information about the wide range of courses and research degrees the University offers. It’s really important to have a face to face conversation to get the answers to your questions.
When leaving university, we students, must have the right skills and a satisfying level of expertise to achieve our full potential within the global community. Therefore, attending lectures and seminars, spending time in the library, the laboratory and in front of your laptop are not the only things the University of Huddersfield considers.
It's also important to focus on the social, emotional and cultural aspects of the experience we are living as students. The best people to talk to and get information about the postgraduate student experience are the students themselves, so don’t miss the student panel!
Now that you have all the details about what you want to do, with whom and where you are doing it, it’s time to raise the question of how can I fund this? The finance talks at the PG Study Fair are a great way to find out more about your funding options, including discounts, loans and scholarships. The Student Finance stand is also at the fair for any other questions you may have.
Supporting students is a priority for the University of Huddersfield, so as well as helping you decide what to study and how to fund it, you can also get help and support with your application at the PG Study Fair. Just head to the ‘Apply now and get help with your application’ stand and you could be made an offer for taught provision there and then!
There is nothing quite like a visit to campus to get a feel for what studying at the University of Huddersfield is really like. All you need to do is visit the helpdesk and one of our Student Ambassadors will be happy to show you around. As well as enjoying our beautiful campus, you can also have a chat with our ambassadors about their experience at Huddersfield.
