Nursing Studies degrees in Sheffield

I am pursuing a one-year master's course at Sheffield Hallam University. My academic background is in commerce; I completed a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com). However, I have decided to transition my career into the IT industry. The IDP team assisted me in exploring various options, and I ultimately chose this program because it is specifically designed for non-computing students who aspire to build their careers in the field of computing. This course includes both theoretical classes and practical lab sessions, which are conducted one day a week. The combination of lectures and hands-on learning provides a balanced approach to understanding key computing concepts and applying them in real-world scenarios. The tutors are incredibly supportive and cooperative, always ready to clarify doubts and provide guidance. Best Experiences at Sheffield Hallam University: 1. Supportive Environment : The university offers excellent resources, such as access to advanced labs and a library with extensive digital and physical resources. 2. Practical Learning: The lab sessions are interactive and help reinforce theoretical knowledge. 3. Cultural Diversity: Interacting with students from different backgrounds has broadened my perspective. 4. Career Support: The career services team assists with CV preparation, interview techniques, and connecting with potential employers. Challenges/Worst Experiences: 1. Adapting to Computing Concepts: Coming from a commerce background, the initial weeks were challenging as I needed to familiarize myself with technical terms and concepts, also i think we need to do hard work in order to compete with existing students who already studied computing in previous studies 2. Weather: Adjusting to the cold and rainy climate in Sheffield was difficult initially. 3. Time Management: Balancing coursework and independent study requires good time management skills, especially with a one-year intensive program. Overall, the experience at Sheffield Hallam has been transformative, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to pursue a successful career in computing.

I like how the professors seem to really care for their students, and how much students' voices in general are heard, considering how big the SU is! It is only a little stressful having classes for the same subject in multiple different buildings.

when moving to Uni I was really nervous but it all grew on me. I really enjoy the quiet life and due to my course it allows me to get into a routine that I can love and appreciate. All my teacher definitely push to having a chill and creative environment, but also if I have any issues or problems I do feel comfortable expressing any concern. looking at where my dorm is location wise I love it because I'm close to all building that have my classes and close to all shops so I can get my daily shopping for a great price. The issues that I still struggle with since moving here is friends due to my course I normally spend a lot of time on my own drawing (not even necessarily to do with work for my course but simple because I enjoy it and want to get better),due to this and switching to this course on the first week of Uni I don't have many friends. I have tried to go to more social activities but to be honest I feel a little guilt because i tell myself there is work I could be doing instead. I still do have all intention to make friends in Uni and still push my self to events.
