Sheffield Hallam University teaches more than 600 undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. These cover a large range of disciplines.
The university is one of the UK's largest providers of health and social care, teacher training, and sport and physical activity courses. It’s also home to one of the UK's oldest established art and design institutions – Sheffield Institute of Arts.
Applied learning
Students learn in a variety of different ways. For example, nursing students learn how to care for different types of patients using mannequins. They hold an iPad over the mannequin’s face to simulate different patients. Criminology students work with the police in schools where they discuss issues such as cyberbullying, sexting and gang culture.
Placement opportunities
All degree courses include guaranteed work experience, and students have opportunities to spend time abroad as part of their course.
Learners get real-world experience away from lectures and seminars, and the opportunity to put their developing skills and knowledge into practice. The university has over 1,000 industry connections with global brands such as IBM, Adidas and Sony, and major national organisations like the NHS.
Professional accreditation
Many courses are professionally accredited meaning that they are recognised by an industry relevant professional body, for example the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
