STUDENTS' UNION

The Students' Union used to be in the victorian-style Milton Hall, a former United Reformed Church and now part of Theatre Studies. Since January 10th 2005, it is in a £4m new purpose-built construction behind the Harold Wilson building. The Union is less political than other student unions. The student newspaper is called Huddersfield Student, published each month. The student radio station, formerly ''Melt FM'', is now ''Ultra FM'' and once a year broadcasts on 87.9FM.
