Latest figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) show that the University of Huddersfield has maintained its outstanding reputation for investing in the quality and qualifications of its staff.
It has 94 per cent of its 800 teaching staff holding teaching qualifications, maintaining the proportion from the previous year's figures but it is once again the leading university in the country having been consistently in the top three previously.
The figures are part of the latest data release from HESA which covers the academic year that concluded in 2022.
They also reveal that 710 of the University of Huddersfield's 935 academic staff hold doctorates, with the proportion of 76 per cent still exceeded in England only by the universities of Oxford and Nottingham.
A further 185 have other higher degrees to maintain the percentage of lecturers with higher academic qualifications at 96 per cent, the highest proportion for a university in the UK
Commenting on the latest HESA figures, the University of Huddersfield's Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Tim Thornton, said: "Our colleagues are now arguably the best qualified of any university in the country, reflecting a sustained commitment to excellence in teaching, research and internationalisation."
