University rating
Tell us about your overall university experience so far.
I really enjoy studying in this university. I am an international student, and the university provides a lot of support for us, also there are many different events where you can meet people from all over the world, learn about culture. Also, new international students can have a mentor who will help you to settle in university, city and will answer your questions and share his/her experience with you.
Facilities
How good are your university's facilities?
All university's facilities are really good, mostly new and modern.
Student support
How good is the support offered by the uni? Think both academic (tutors/feedback) and personal (counselling, etc).
Academic tutors are always available and open to answer all questions that you have by email or by arranging meeting with you. Assignments feedback is also always released during the required dates without any delays. Moreover, all over the campus we have help points where you can ask different questions that you might have. Even if you are not sure where to go with a specific problem, they will tell you this.
Students' union
What do you think of your Students' Union in terms of student representation and facilities?
Our Students' Union work hard in order to provide help to students. And also they have a lot of events and societies to involve students to the university life.
Local life
Is your university in a good location in terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities?
Sheffield is a students' city with a lot of parks. It's one of the greenest cities in Europe. Also, one advantage for students is that prices in Sheffield comparing with other cities are cheaper.
Societies and Sports
How would you rate the variety of societies/sports?
We have variety of societies in university, you can find everything that you want according to your interest. If you didn't find it, you can organize your own society, this process is really easy.
All these societies have many events during the year
Lecturers and teaching quality
What do you like most and least about the way your course(s) are taught?
I like that my course is really wide and we talk about not just British cases, but also about international law in Human Rights. Moreover, we have a lot of opportunities to learn not just theory but also practical things. For example, we had a field trip to Switzerland, where we visited the United Nations and found out more about practical issues in this area.
One thing that I think could be improved is schedule. We had classes just once per week for the whole day, and I think in order to be more productive it could be better to have classes at least twice per week but just the half of the day.
How many contact hours per week do you have?
7
Career prospects
How does your uni make efforts to increase your employability (careers department, work placements, transferable skills)?
We have career centre in the university. They can help with finding a part-time job, graduate job, writing your CV, cover letter, and advise in many other career-related issues.
University halls
What do you think about the safety, condition, location and cost of your accommodation?
I really like student accommodation where I live. Location is really good, all supermarkets, restaurants are located near by. And also it is located in the middle between two campuses of SHU (City Campus and Collegiate Campus). In our accommodation we have all necessary facilities: laundry, free printing, gym, study area, TV, table tennis etc. I highly recommend student accommodations to other people also because it is a good opportunity to meet a lot of students from all over the world.
