Further Education Teaching postgraduate degrees in Northern England

All the facilites are in a really good place making study easy, however i think it would be even better if it was allowed to stay in some builing to work at night. Even if the Catalyst is open 24/7, it can get crowded at night during exam season and it would help if builing such as the Creative Edge can be open to student after 8pm even if they dont usually have class in the builing.

Love Sheffield as a city, couldn't recommend it enough. Uni is pretty good, though I'm very concerned about the University's economic situation and the redundancies. The staff are all great, so it is really unfortunate that their jobs are seemingly not secure. Staffing/funding issues are probably the main issue I have regarding my experience at Hallam.

Facilities (5) - I truly believe that my degree is perfectly accommodated for just by looking at the facilities on offer. Not only that, but the actual hive bar is brilliant and there is lots of space for everyone. Location (3) - Although the building itself looks fabulous where it is, to get there you have to cross a very busy main road that sometimes can be dangerous and with it being outside of the AO arena, it makes it hard being there when a concert or show is on. With that being said however, the fact it is barely a 10 minute walk from Victoria station makes it very easy for me as a commuter. Student Support (4) - I believe that UCEN goes above and beyond when trying to support students, particularly with their schemes on offer to help those less financially stable. The only thing I’d say is maybe make it a bit more obvious where to access these support by putting posters up around the campus. Campus Look and Feel (5) - It is clear that there has been a lot of work gone into the campus itself which makes it a really beautiful and welcoming place to be. The campus actually featured on the latest season of Waterloo Road so I am pretty sure that this only goes to show how incredible it is. Student Life (4) - As far as I am aware, as a commuter student, the campus is brilliant for somebody like me as I can easily get there everyday providing the trains are running, but I do feel that with the location of the campus, students find it relatively difficult to find accommodation on offer around it, and therefore, this can make it difficult for students to really get to grips with student life when not being close to the campus or city centre. Students Union (5) - The students union is always thriving, there is always something going on that they have put together in the hive, and it is really a pleasure to get involved in these things and take a break from the degree for a moment. Whether that be painting or putting on a movie night, they really do go above and beyond. They also promote our concerts and events which is lovely to see.

Best: - Most people are lovely and if I have any issues especially with noisy neighbours the accommodation team is fantastic and very quick to help us. - Lovely small campus, it’s very bright and welcoming especially when it’s dark. -Societies are good. - Decent food. Cons: - Buildings close too early - Uni halls are very expensive - some of the buildings need more TLC especially Athena (there are holes in the ceiling)

One of the best parts of my university experience has been the supportive learning environment. The lecturers are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in student success. The course content is well structured and relevant to real-world applications, which has helped me build practical skills alongside academic knowledge. Access to online learning resources and flexible study options has also made it easier to balance studies with other commitments. Overall, the university provides a diverse and inclusive community that makes it a great place to learn and grow. Some modules could benefit from quicker feedback on assignments, as timely feedback is important for improvement. Additionally, increasing opportunities for hands-on projects, industry engagement, and career guidance would further enhance the student experience.
