Top university!

(5)·By Yusuf S·Human Resource Management· Jun 2023
Studying at the University of Sheffield was brillaint. My course was highly enjoyable but equally challenging. I completed modules on not just human resource management, but also accounting and strategic management. This gave me a great understanding of the field of business as a whole. The university offered financial help during the pandemic and even allowed students to complete examinations from home. The lecturers were very supportive and offered help with the assignments as much as possible. Each student had their own tutor to guide them with any issues which was very useful. The student Union is fun with lots of things to do, including sports, music, and restaurants. The city itself is beautiful - it is a healthy middle between a busy city and a small town. Coming from London, I really enjoyed living in Sheffield as I took a break from the busy city life. Everywhere is easy to get to without the need to take a tube or train. The rent is also very cheap, specially in comparison to big cities like London. I lived in an ensuite room within the city centre for £360 a month (including all bills). The accommodation even had a private gym and a beautiful rooftop area where you can see the whole city.

University of sheffield

(5)·By Carla M·Aerospace Engineering· Jun 2023
The university of Sheffield is a very welcoming place. It's very diverse and inclusive. The campus is spacious and welcoming, everything is close together and the learning environment is wonderful. The lessons are engaging and well taught, homework and course work are evenly spaced out and support sessions are always offered. The university makes sure students are offered support both academically and mentally, I personally have taken advantage of both and have both proven to be very helpful and effective. The university of Sheffield also runs hundreds of activities during the week through the residence life programs which keep the community growing and tightly knit. The activities are also perfect for relieving stress or just trying something different and completely new like alpaca trekking. There are also hundreds of societies so everyone is bound to find one they like, I'm currently in the lacrosse team and I only really just found out about the sport but I'm having so much fun even though I was nervous and sceptical to go at first, I'm really really enjoying it. If sports aren't your thing then there are loads more like the crochet society which I've joined recently and am having so much fun in. I get to make new friends in a very calm and welcoming environment (and snacks are provided :) )
The uni of Sheffield is a great university all around it has the perfect balance of city and nature and it's surrounded by so many beautiful landscapes it seems unreal!
I truly love my university and I am absolutely certain I couldn't have chosen a better one :)

I had a great experience at Sheffield

(5)·By Maria M·Medicine· Jun 2023
I loved my time in Sheffield, the university the students and all the professors. My medical training in Sheffield was exceptional, all the doctors were great and understanding. The modules were well taught and structured in a logical manner. If I only I could go back in time and enjoy the city even more!

Uni

(5)·By Imogen F·English Studies· Jun 2023
It was a really varied and diverse course with a lot of insightful modules. The teaching was valuable and the lecturers gave a lot of their time. Aside from the course, there were a huge variety of extracurricular activities and societies to take part in, which was a really good benefit.

Exceeded my expectations

(5)·By Selma R·Sociology· Jun 2023
I went into uni with no expectations and a lot of anticipation... it's safe to say university has been beyond anything I could've hoped for. The teaching and aid I've been given as an individual has been incomparable to anything I've experienced, not to mention the many friends I've made while studying on my course and in my social time. I'd recommend university to anyone who's feeling stuck, you'll learn so much not only about yourself but about your favourite subjects and places... it really is a learning and growing experience!

Unforgettable experience

(5)·By Natalia M·Law· Jun 2023
Despite my university experience being cut short due to the pandemic, it was an experience never to forget. The weekly club nights at the award-winning SU, screaming along to Love Story by Taylor Swift until I lost my voice, were unmatchable. Then, being able to stroll through the gorgeous Peak District the next morning was the best hangover cure (as well as getting an obligatory pie and chips from Notty House of course). Choosing Sheffield was the best decision I ever made, and not only for its social life. I received high quality education from experienced professors which got me to my dream graduate job!

Jannas uni experience

(5)·By Janna E·Engineering· Jun 2023
A really down to earth university with a diverse range of students where I feel really comfortable and can fit In. The uni life is really good with ALOT of societies to join such as yoga and more niche ones like Arab society. The student village is welcoming and easy to adapt to with staff on site at all times with any maintance issue which they are really good with. The staff are approachable and a lot of support is available such as counselling and extra support sessions with uni help if need be.

Politics and IR at Sheffield University

(5)·By Lamiaa R·Politics· Jun 2023
This course has been extremely comprehensive as well as challenging in order to fully optimise students understanding of the subject. The teaching system encourages students to ask for help when needed, and office hours are accessible every day. The content is also engaging which motivates learning. The campus itself provides many useful facilities such as libraries, career hubs, computer labs which are essential for learning and create a very effective learning environment.
