What students say about social-studies

The 24 hour liabry does help a lot and this university is good when it comes to understanding external stressors and being mindful of them and it is a good uni for understanding learning disabilities, compared to others. Could be improved with telling all students what's available there a lot that is available but isn't to easy to find the information etc global citizens schemes.

What students say about social-studies

I don't like the uni location. It's too far from the city and there's no much to do. However, nothing can be done to change that. I would like that there is more opportunities for international students to visit the UK.

The campus is super nice but a little far away from the down Town. The teaching materials are interesting and well presented by the teachers. Also they support the students very well. Especially thé dissertation director assigned to each student.

What students say about social-studies

-City itself is great, beautiful city and history and architecture, everywhere is easily accessible. -Student support could be better, heard and seen a lot of things that I feel is very unfair and not taken seriously -Facilities in the Kingsway campus is great, the campus itself is great, the location is in a bit of a strange area and is a bit far away from the main campus.

The best aspects are the student union and the facilities available. I think it could be improved if we had more books generally available at the library without requiring click and collect, since right now the library feels like a study space but not a real library.

What students say about social-studies

Sheffield Hallam University offers a welcoming and supportive environment with a strong focus on applied learning. The teaching staff are approachable, knowledgeable, and committed to helping students develop both academically and professionally. The university’s facilities, including modern study spaces, libraries, and specialist resources, create a positive setting for independent and collaborative work. Sheffield Hallam is also well connected to local communities and employers, providing valuable opportunities for placements, volunteering, and real-world experience. The Students’ Union is active and inclusive, offering a wide range of societies and support services that help students settle in and feel part of the community. The city of Sheffield itself is friendly, affordable, and vibrant, with plenty of green spaces and cultural activities. Overall, Sheffield Hallam provides a balanced blend of academic support, practical experience, and an enjoyable student life, making it a strong choice for many learners. I think the one thing that could be improved in my courses attendance taking. I would prefer if all my lectures took attendance so I could keep track of it myself.

My studying at Salford University was very good so far, I really enjoy my course and have a lovely lecturers delivering the learning. Only at the beginning of this year, we have got some organisational issues with timetables, which decreased my learning experience, but I'm happy to hear that University is working on it.

Teaching staff here are exceptionally kind to students and are willing to go an extra mile to help students' studies, with a variety of adjustment measures available. There are too many people smoking on campus and the university management ought to take care of that.
