She attended Notting Hill & Ealing High School. In 1993, she graduated with a 2:1 in BA Political and Social Sciences and Law from Newnham College, Cambridge.
In 1999, she completed a PhD in cultural studies thesis on youth culture at the University of East London,[3] comparing young people in East London and the Alsace region of France,[4] which included being a post-graduate at Strasbourg II University in France during which time she also worked at the European Parliament for the Labour Party,[5] shadowing Labour MEP Carole Tongue.[6] Huq's father, Muhammad Huq,[7][8] and mother, Rowshan Ara Huq, emigrated to Britain in 1962 to enable their children to have better opportunities and a higher level of education than was available in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).[9] Huq's father (who was also known as Abedul) came from Maksedpur in Pabna city, while her mother (who was also known as Dulali Biswas) was from Kuthipara.[10] Huq's father was training to become an actuary for The Prudential, but gave that up to start an Indian restaurant in Soho, London. After the recession of the early 1990s, the council did not renew the restaurant's lease so the business folded. He started another restaurant in Harrow but later retired |
