About

Aspley, Longley and the University area sit immediately south of Huddersfield town centre in Kirklees. The University of Huddersfield's main campus runs along Queensgate beside the railway station, so teaching buildings, lecture spaces and student accommodation are concentrated in a compact zone. Surrounding streets in Aspley and Longley contain Victorian terraces, post-war housing and purpose-built student flats. Local shops, takeaways and pubs serve everyday needs, while short streets link the residential pockets to the campus and town centre.

Transport links are strong: Huddersfield railway station and regular bus routes provide direct connections across West Yorkshire. Community facilities include primary schools, sports pitches and small green spaces used for informal games and dog walking. The stone façade of the railway station marks the area’s northern edge, and the campus hosts public lectures, concerts and exhibitions through the year, bringing students and residents into the same spaces. On open days and match days the town centre and campus plazas fill with stalls and posters for events, reflecting the recurring rhythm of academic and local life.
