Sheffield Hallam is super accessible for commuters as the uni is right over the road from Sheffield Train Station. As well as this, for those who prefer to take the bus, the Sheffield Bus Interchange is only a five minute walk from the main building. Every building has elevators as well as vending machines so you don’t have to make a huge trek for a drink. Overall 10/10 in my experience!

The lessons for my course are quite flexible, a lot of it is done on computers so it’s very easy to just work from home if I have any difficulties getting to uni some days (it also saves me money on commuting haha.) The majority of lecturers are very helpful if you have any questions

The best part of my university experience was definitely the chance to meet people from different backgrounds and work on group projects. It really helped me develop teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. I also enjoyed learning new things and challenging myself academically. The hardest part was probably managing my time, especially balancing assignments, exams, and other commitments. It was a good lesson in organisation and prioritising, though, and it’s something I’ve gotten much better at over time.

The best part of studying cybersecurity has been learning how to think critically and solve problems — every topic feels like a puzzle, and I love that. It’s also great seeing how what I learn can be used in real-life situations. The hardest part has probably been keeping up with how fast technology changes, but it’s pushed me to keep learning and stay curious, which I think is a really good habit to have.
