PGDE Secondary postgraduate degrees in Northern England

Best Aspects of Studying at the University of Chester: Beautiful Campus and it is friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Staff and students alike are approachable, creating a welcoming environment for learning and personal growth. As for the worst aspects, the acoomodation cost is high.

I find the amount of support from academic to international and student representative support so immense and it made coping and adjusting to the new environment very easy. The uniskills and library services here is top notch and staff here are very helpful and give guidance when needed. One thing that can be improved is creating more part time job opportunities for students especially international students.

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.

University provides wide range of student study skill support as well as facility suc as library however due to amount of stufdents sometimes there is no space to use for self study. The food in the canteen has not much choice and the price is too expensive.

It's good that everything is close to each other so travelling from one place to another doesn't take much. In terms of the worst thing, it might be just my course however it is a bit pricey considering what we are receiving.

The people are lovely. And if you ever have issues with someone the uni is quick to act. Uni at night feels safer with all the lights. Good food. Lots of clubs to join what are fun. Building close to early.

They messed up all the support areas when they centralised it. It's hard for students to get the right help and feel a sense of knowing with the support staff. They are all super helpful but can't be found or reached anywhere. Facilities for music production are insanely good with Atmos rooms and great consoles and equipment available for us to use.
