Rethinking learning
At Sheffield Hallam, we’re innovating how you learn and take assessments.
Your assignments are designed to get you ready for work, not just test what you can remember. Most tasks are hands-on, helping you build evidence of your skills through live projects, placements and input from employers – so you can see how your learning applies in the real world.
You’ll study a maximum of four modules a year, usually just two at a time. This lets you focus deeply, immerse yourself fully in topics that genuinely excite you and make connections across your learning. Employers don’t just hire our graduates – they help shape them. Our courses are designed with industry leaders, and frontline academics guide you every step of the way, so you can develop career-ready skills from one module to the next.
This means you can:
- study your topic in greater depth – you’ll get to immerse yourself in your subject for a more rewarding and applied learning experience
- apply your learning to the real world, through placements, live projects with industry and global opportunities
- make connections between topics and discover what interests you most
- grow your knowledge from one module to the next, with lecturers who fully understand what you’ve learnt so far and can build on this
- take fewer, more focused assessments, not lots of end-of-year exams. You’ll usually be assessed whilst you’re studying a module, so the topic is fresh in your mind
We promise by graduation, you’ll have evidence of real work, practical skills and problem-solving to show employers – ready to hit your career running.
