Reasons to choose Sheffield Hallam
We understand that going to university is a big commitment. It's an investment in your future, so you want to be sure you've made the right decision.
If you choose Sheffield Hallam University, here's what you'll get.
You'll be taught by staff who have valuable experience of their industry - and in many cases are still working in it. So you can be sure you'll get the latest thinking, which is what employers are looking for.
As a Sheffield Hallam student you'll get your own career management programme. Throughout your time here you'll have timetabled appointments with a professional careers adviser - plus sessions on interview techniques, your CV and what employers are looking for.
We're the first university to work with recruitment experts Parity to place final year students and graduates in businesses and give them coaching and mentoring support. And when you graduate you can apply for hands-on experience through our internship scheme, delivered by Graduates Yorkshire.
Our lecturers are experts at helping you learn. We were one of the first UK universities to have staff recognised as National Teaching Fellows. And each year our students nominate more than 1,000 members of our staff for Inspirational Teaching Awards, praising their enthusiasm and ability to bring topics to life.
We continually invest in our teaching and learning facilities and accommodation, making sure that where you live, study and work is of the highest standard. We give you a learning environment that's as close as possible to the workplace you'll end up in.
Your fee includes the cost of any mandatory UK field trips on your course. It also includes the cost of joining a professional body, where it's relevant to your course and chosen career. And if you take a year's work placement as part of your course, you'll pay no fees for that year.
We have close links with employers. They give guest lectures, let you work on real projects, and help design our courses to make sure they give you the skills and knowledge they're looking for. Our courses are accredited by professional associations, and some offer exemptions from professional exams to help you qualify faster for your chosen career.
You'll have flexible access to high-quality learning resources, including books, e-books, journal databases, multimedia, blackboard sites, PCs and Macs, bookable meeting and group study spaces and quiet study areas.
You'll have access to a wide range of life and study support services, right from the induction programme that settles you in when you get here. Whether you need help with studies, disabilities or your wellbeing, drop in to speak to our approachable staff at any time.
When you join us you'll be allocated a personal tutor to monitor your progress and point you in the right direction if you have any problems.
We take your views seriously. All our courses have elected student representatives who give your feedback to academic staff and take part in an annual review of the course to make sure it's delivering what students want. This is also a position of responsibility that you can include on your CV.
Many of our courses offer the opportunity to study abroad. We've got exchange agreements with over 100 institutions across the world, including in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Japan, Sweden and the USA.
At the end of your course you'll have the opportunity to give yourself an edge in the job market by continuing to postgraduate level, with a masters or PhD. And as a Sheffield Hallam graduate you'll get a discount on your postgraduate fees.
