“Excellent facilities for learning engineering”
Anton P
Cyprus, Graduate
Materials Science, 2021
Overall
24/7 library. iForge Maker space where students can work on their own passion projects.
My degree program provided a range of optional modules, including an opportunity to study a second language.
My department helped me to find opportunities to study abroad.
Careers service organised different job fairs and supported me through internship application process.
Lecturers were very good at explaining complex topics and they are experts in their research field.
Parks and surrounding nature of Sheffield are great for taking break from studies.

“Great place for study”
LIU Y
China, Graduate
Journalism, 2014
Overall
It's a great university. It's a Russel Group Uni and renowned for its Students Union. And during my study, I've had access to great facilities, academics, services. My teachers and tutors were all supportive and friendly.
Sheffield is a multicultural town and a lovely place to live in. You can easily make friend with students and locals there.
The only pity I would say is that because I studied Global Journalism which is less practical than broadcasting and printing journalism, I had less opportunity to find a job or internship in Sheffield.

“Excellent university with first-class tutors”

Political Science, 2021
Overall
Covid-19 has limited me to review teaching content. I was offered places in several other universities and I do not regret going to Sheffield. During a difficult time, tutors have been excellent. The university has also given us mental health resources for lockdown while tutors have given students extra time during face to face hours. They also have extensive resources for job searches. My only point of contention is that the university did not put their courses online fully, making students unsure about what to do during breaks or if unable to come due to visa restrictions, etc.

I am doing my Master at the moment, and I can tell that I will never forget this academic exchange year!
If you have this opportunity to go, don't think about anything else and book your tickets! I found my accomodation in 1 days, and I found a job and I didn't know how to speak the language when I arrived in the airport!:-) I met unforgettable people and my future husband!!!
However, you have to make sure that you take courses with groupwork! it's really important!

As accomodation I would suggest Endcliffe Vale Flats, there are some flats that are a bit old.... and just enjoy your year there, you may not have another year as good as the one you spend there. For me, it was the best year i've lived, in all fields (academic, personal...) I met great people who i'm still in contact with, I really felt I'd changed after being there.
