MSc International Business and Marketing

University rating (5)

Best Aspect: The best part of my university experience has been the opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds. Working on group projects with students from different cultures and academic disciplines has not only expanded my perspective but also helped me grow personally and professionally. Worst Aspect: The most challenging part was managing workload during peak assessment periods. At times, deadlines for multiple modules would clash, leading to stress and late nights. However, I eventually learned time management strategies that helped me stay on top of tasks.

Sports Coaching

University rating (5)

Best parts about my time at university is the amount of sport you receive while studying, the amount of opportunites that you can take is amazing. All the staff on my course are wonderful as they all have the same goal of you getting the best grade for your degree. Another thing I loved about university is my elective modules because i am able to chose what i wanna learn instead of it being given to me. Something i dont like about university is the online lectures as i feel disconected with the lesson and unmotivated. Another thing i didn't like was 9am lectures at EIS, due to me living at home it took alot of time for me to get to EIS

Computer Science

University rating (3)

Diverse and very nice location, i love sheffield, I personally think the societies could be better, most of them are either going to pub or boring, I don't know for sports but other academic and socials were a bit boring. Teaching wise, it's what you would expect from this. Honestly lecturer are pretty nice. There are some students who will yap about their achievements idk and would say stuffs like, got here cuz couldn't get into uni of. I think hallam is pretty nice. Night life is def intense. I didn't party that much but man, so many people especially in the first weeks.

Working with Children, Young People and Families - FdA

University rating (4)

The community is very diverse and inclusive, you can find a lot of other people like you and get talking. Laptop borrowing, computer rooms, and lecture halls are useful and conducive to learning, and the professors want you to do your best and encourage you to achieve, giving good guidance as well. Student support can be hit or miss - I was not contacted by them in first year, and had to contact them myself so I could learn about what support they can offer me, but when the agreements are in place, they are quite good. Collegiate campus has amazing nature and building design, beautiful and on Ecclesall Road, and both campuses are easy to get to from the city centre. The Students' Union does not feel like it is part of the university - I have had little interaction with them, do not know the full extent of what they offer, and do not entirely know how they work, and so it does not seem like a top priority or the first thing one may think of when they think of Sheffield Hallam University. However, this is not the universal experience of the Union, and others may say differently. Overall, the university is rather good, and my experience is largely satisfactory.

PGCE Primary Education (5-11) with Qualified Teacher Status

University rating (5)

Both campus buildings are set in the heart of the city and just on the quiter outskirts. The buildings have so many study areas and comfortable chairs to settle down and study in. The lecture halls are large, however the desks to rest laptops ect are quite small and wiggly. The tutors are knowledgable and academic advisors are supportive and welcoming

MSc International Marketing (Work Experience)

University rating (3)

More support should be given for students on a placement year other than just giving known advices like handshake, at least some details of connections for the real life work environment.
