Huddersfield is a large market town situated in the heart of Northern England. With a history dating back over 4,000 years, the town has long been associated with engineering and textiles industries and played an important role in the Industrial Revolution.
The town also has a long history of education and innovation dating back to the formation of the Scientific and Mechanics Institute in 1825.

Alongside its industrial heritage, Huddersfield sits on the edge of the Peak District, the UK most popular National Park with an estimated 10 million visitors each year. The town is within easy reach of the cities of Manchester and Leeds, both of which lie less than 30 minutes away by train, and only an hour's journey from Manchester International Airport.
