Most helpful review

Sheffield Hallam has helped me build life long friendships, develop new hobbies and gain a better understanding of what I want to achieve in the future. Staff have been helpful and supportive throughout my first year and I look forward to start my second year!

Pretty disappointed in SHU. We spend £9250 a year to go here and yet they still try to charge you for things such as printing or books. The careers advice centre was also hopeless, many students struggle to find jobs and they don’t even try to help you with it. On top of this there are a lot of strikes at important times of the year which are very bad for people’s grades / hand ins. Finally the student union is the most expensive bar in town when everyone else’s student union is subsidised.

Love this university. It’s helped build my confidence, shape me as a person and develop my knowledge. Doesn’t deserve the stick it gets from uni of and I find it very belittling when people like me who simply learn differently to them find the non-Russel group unis to be a joke. People learn differently, not an issue

I also found the staff to be very supportive of any mental health difficulties that I was facing often helping and directing me to helpful services.

Spent 3 Years here studying journalism, it was the worst 3 years of education I've ever had. Course ranking dropped from 8th to 36th within the three years which highlights the glaring issues. Teachers don't care at all, favoritism with students is riphe facilities are basic, library's a joke, the course offered no trips of practical insights. I could go into so much more detail but it wouldn't be worth anyone's time reading it. Its a shambolic university and a completely joke of a course. I recommend everyone to go to university of Sheffield or to stay away from hallam completely.

My experience was different from most. I discovered this during my second year when I was looking for a work placement, when I spoke to my careers service advisor and handed them my CV and I quote "This is the worst CV I have ever seen, I recommend that you don't look for work placement", which I ignored I got one anyway. Fast forward to the end of my third year I was informed by careers advice they would assist me for a further year to help me find a job. Five months after leaving I found a job through the uni's job search went to the interview and I was informed that job was only for post graduates. I asked careers if this would be a case for all job assisted through them and they said most likely. So in summery, SHU will care for you as long as you pay them.

My experience has been positive. The lectures are always helpful by providing sessions on how to reference and use online services like blackboard and pebble pad, to aid my reflective learning. I have found the wifi to be slow or lacking in certain lecture rooms, which can affect teaching time but overall it isnt a problem.

Awful support from faculty regarding mental health and specific difficulties I faced. Career advisors gave me one suggestions - do an unpaid internship with us (bursary available up to a certain amount). I felt isolated, lonely and at the lowest points of my life at Hallam. They don’t care about student safety.

Not sure what it is like for other courses but, I am currently studying media (BA Hons) and my course is extremely disorganised. We didn't get our real timetables until today when we were meant to get them in July (I'm starting my second year and it said that we would get our timetables early). &Last term they told us halfway through some work we were doing that it was formative, when it said on the module page that it was summative. I also felt like on the making media module that the person teaching my group was marking very harshly when art is subjective and can't be put in one box, you can't mark something that is meant to be creative down just because it's not the way you wanted it to look. The computers in the media building (cantor) are also not fit for purpose. They are slow and unresponsive. It's supposed to be a media building but the computers are from the stone age.

Amazing experience. Assisted me from day one in relation to all necessary aspects. Joined a society and was great but I’ve drifted apart from it, not because of them but myself not having the free time. Many career opportunities that can assist in my CV in future. Professors have assisted me outside of the lectures if I’ve struggled to understand some aspects as much as others, gone above and beyond.

Legit the worst course ever. I dont know what I paid for to be honest - no support, just left to be confused by the teachers despite asking for help and support with the course, I was just left to fall further behind - meaning I couldn't focus on what I wanted to in the 3rd year. The classes were just essentially show-and-tell lessons of homework, considering it was an Animation course, we were taught nothing about how to actually animate, use the programs, or anything. Promised so much on open days: traditional pencil animation lessons, regular access to cintiqs, trips to multiple animation festivals - none were delivered except one poor trip to manchester animation festival where we returned at 1am and were left with no way to get back to our homes. I learnt nothing over 3 years, making me upset I couldn't go into a career I wanted as I had been taught nothing to be able to. I'm now at a different uni which only highlights how poor Shef Hallam was.

I was a student for 3 years. Had no real problem. The problem was when I left. No support for graduates. I went to the careers centre many times for help and just got the same old routine. I was left to fend for myself, and still didn’t get the job I wanted. I ended up moving to a different city and enrolling somewhere else for a MA.

Good teaching and teaching facilities and lab spaces. Student union has improved somewhat. Lots of opportunities and volunteering. Library is good. Good location near city centre. Student accommodation good.

There’s poor disability support, and the WiFi doesn’t reach everywhere but otherwise couldn’t recommend it more.

Overall a very welcoming and great university. With great academic staff excellence. I gave 4 stars for the students union as it needs a lot of improvement, the actual building is quiet old and small and a good reconstruction would be a good idea. The staff are very supportive and helpful as they are eager to help students thrive in education.

Libraries are appalling with few working computers and all slow, wifi sucks. I was a committee member for a society last year and the union was less than useless; we asked for access to a plug socket for society fair and was told we can have one so bought electronics to showcase our society only for our stall to not be further away from one so we had an empty stall which made for a great first impression and their compulsory training through the year was a waste of time. I also chose to come to uni for the jewellery and metalwork society they advertised which was disbanded by the time I arrived. Although the SU was useless, all the comittee members I met in all societies were very nice and helpful and passionate about their society. Can't comment on the careers service but I wouldn't get your hopes up if it's as bad as the rest of the uni. My course feels like they only work there for the money and do minimum effort reading off slides and don't respond to emails or aren't helpful.

Sheffield Hallam University is a great university that is located in really green city.

We have also career centre that help students and graduates to find a part-time job, placement, internship, graduate job. They also can advise you regarding CV, application form, cover letters, etc.

Staff are supportive, most campus facilities are new or recently refurbished. Have joined and taken part in a wide range of societies such as Anime or Model United Nations. The Students Union itself however at time of writing is incredibly poor, however a referendum passed this academic year to attempt to resolve many of the issues, although it's building is still unfit for purpose in my opinion. Fast, Free WiFi is available throughout the University and the Careers service was invaluable to me when attempting to source a work placement.
