Sheffield Hallam University is now offering a full time undergraduate BEng (Hons) in Materials Engineering. The course is running in its first year and has proved very popular with ten students currently enrolled and more interested for next academic year

We are delighted to announce that this year's Jeremy Laskowski prize for excellence in PhD research has been awarded to Osama el Sherif

A multi-million pound revolutionary research project which aims to regenerate damaged spinal discs and cure back pain, has begun at Sheffield Hallam University.

Sheffield Hallam University is offering this challenging and exciting PhD project in radioactive waste immobilisation and monitoring. This project is fully-funded by the UK's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and is supported by the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL). The project is also supported by a consortium of leading UK Universities and nuclear industry partners, through the EPSRC TRANSCEND consortium, and the successful applicant will form part of a strong cohort at Sheffield Hallam University and also as part of TRANSCEND.

Robin Smith joined Sheffield Hallam as a physics lecturer in August 2017 after completing his PhD in nuclear physics at the University of Birmingham. He is now a Senior Lecturer in Physics and specialises in the fields of nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics, examining the shapes of atomic nuclei and determining the rates of fusion reactions in stars.
