99% of students are satisfied or very satisfied with their History courses at the University of Huddersfield - the highest score for any University History department in the National Student Satisfaction Survey, and one which follows on excellent performances in all previous official surveys.
Dr Pat Cullum, Head of History said, “The result is very pleasing and is testimony to the hard work History staff put into giving students a stimulating programme of study in a supportive atmosphere”.
The result means that History at Huddersfield has been in the top four of the satisfaction survey in three out of the last four years and is almost certainly the most consistent top performer in achieving the highest levels of student satisfaction. Sharon Mann, who has just graduated with a First said, “As a History student at the University of Huddersfield I was made extremely welcome. All the staff were approachable and willing to help out with any problems that occurred. I made some very close friends there and they all enjoyed their time at Huddersfield. I would recommend the University of Huddersfield as a brilliant place to any student considering studying history.”

Two University of Huddersfield lecturers have compiled a major new encyclopedia. Dr Peter Davies and Dr Paul Jackson – who both teach History at the university – have just written The Far Right in Europe: An Encyclopedia, a reference work published by Oxford-based Greenwood World Publishing. “We’ve spent three years working on the volume,” said Peter, a specialist on fascism and French history. “It surveys the various far-right movements and parties in Europe today, their leaders and policies – from Western to Eastern Europe.” Read More...
History is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Paul Jackson on a temporary contract for the Autumn semester 2008 to cover the maternity leave of Dr Rebecca Gill. Dr Jackson has previously been employed at Oxford Brookes University and at Wiley-Blackwell as editor of the online Journal Religion Compass. His research is on the cultural history of the First World War and includes work on Indian intellectuals of the period, which makes him extremely well qualified to teach both The Great War and Modern India, which will be his main responsibilities.
