As I started in September, after taking a gap year to pursue some personal studies in Arabic, I initially had the feeling I would be out of place and quite nervous upon starting at Hallam, however it was the complete opposite. The people at SHU are extremely supporting and kind, helping me with my studies providing great support and advice as I proceed. The facilities for my course are amazing as I am mainly in the Redmires building, they have everything you will ever need and it is all up to date and modern. The area where the university is based is quite difficult in terms of parking as it is city centre however that it understandable. Overall, great people and a great University

Honestly, there are no bad aspects to the course, only one slight thing which is sometimes there is an online lecture, but that is manageable. Everything else is amazing, all facilities are up to date, I have support when needed, site visits quite often and it makes the experience different and enjoyable. The sessions are just the right time, flexible , and you maintain your interest during the week.

The entire staff is responsive and always ready to help, they tailor their learning methods to what we as students find the most effective and rewarding. There are study spaces though not many which could be improved as many people prefer to work in a university building thats not necessarily their lecture hall but still is a motivating space. The student union also does not have a lot of character compared to other universities, there are limited study spaces and a handful of cafes but not much more which doesnt bring people together or become a space to relax or eat or find school supplies such as pens or notebooks thats students may need last minute.

Overall the course is great! The tutors give us time to work freely but also give us 1 to 1 time to discuss projects and next steps to endure were all working as we need to be. Having 6 hours of lectures a day for 2 days a week is hard work but can be less productive if we are unsure of what to do on our free days but we are always reminded that we can contact our tutors whenever for assistance. The structure and pace of the course is easy to follow and it tailored to everyones needs and i find the course very rewarding and enjoyable

They organise events for tenants to be more sociable that fit with the season such as halloween and Christmas events. Theres plenty of spaces to study or play games or watch movies. Staff is available and always kind with security at night to keep the building safe and controlled. The room sizes and amenities included are great and definitely worth the weekly price. Its very modern and any repairs get fixed within a week if needed, any issues that need resolving staff are always ready to help in person or through email and theres often free gifts in the reception area and common area!
