New college structure at Hallam

The University has reviewed how it is structured in order to give you the best experience while studying here. One of the changes is the reorganisation from Faculties to Colleges, which will better align our teaching and research. We don’t anticipate that this change will have any impact on your academic studies, but we do anticipate greater opportunity for collaboration between subjects and disciplines. Hallam is now made up of three Colleges, these are:

• College of Business, Technology and Engineering
• College of Social Sciences and Arts
• College of Health, Wellbeing and Life Sciences

The University and Students’ Union are working closely together to ensure that the student voice and student representation remains a strong feature in the new Colleges with opportunity for new improved ways of working.
