Huddersfield New College

Meet the Principal

At Huddersfield New College, we recognise that it is a big step moving from school to college, and that what will make this step easier for you is knowing that you have chosen the right college, one which will prepare you carefully and thoroughly for the next big step to university or employment.

We believe Huddersfield New College is the right college to prepare you for your future. In joining us at Huddersfield New College, you will be joining a college with an excellent academic tradition which dates back to 1958. Generations of students have studied here (including, I am sure, some of your parents, brothers, sisters, broader family and friends) and have progressed successfully to university or employment.
