Victorian Career Fair IN 2 Heritage Quay is celebrating the 175th birthday of the University of Huddersfield with a special Victorian Careers Fair, held as part of the Festival of Learning.

For one afternoon only, step back in time to the Huddersfield Technical College, opened in 1884 in the newly opened Ramsden Building.

The event will take place on Saturday 11 June from 12.00pm to 3.00pm.

With the help of the archives team you can take on the character of a Victorian student (man or woman) and attend the careers fair. What courses will you choose to take and what kind of job will you get afterwards? And most importantly, what can you do for fun?

This is a brilliant opportunity to see what education at the University was like over 125 years ago and learn some local history too.

The event is free and open to everyone and there is no need to book. To find out more visit the Heritage Quay website or call 01484 473168.
