Design studies, Sheffield Hallam University

I’ve really enjoyed the course so it’s a shame it’s mostly been online. The teachers are really helpful and it’s done really well

I transferred universities from Derby to Sheffield and it was the best decision I ever made. The tutors are really supportive, you can have a quiet discussion with any of them if you are stuck or unsure. There is the option to go in on a free day and ask the tutors how to do things in any of the adobe packages and they will teach you how to do it. There are plenty of opportunities to try different media's to work with, it is mainly digital but we've also done print making, risograph, 3D models and animation. It is as equally fun as it is challenging, it's been hard work but it's been worth it. Anything that's been a problem or something the students have discussed that they want changing for the following term they've done their best to change it. Your voice is heard, which is refreshing. We've had the chance to visit professionals and ask them questions about working in the industry. So far I'm in my 2nd year and it's been great.

First year was a bit mixed mached as there's 120 students on the course however tutors are excellent and always there if you need help or support. Don't have a personal tutor as such which I feel is a down fall to the couse.

What an awful course, paying £9000 for nothing really!

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL! STAY AWAY - What a waste of £9000. I honestly felt like I had taken 2 steps back into GCSE Art and Design. They completely waste your time and have no idea on how to structure a course.

Had a passion for graphic design all throughout high school that carried on to sixth form. I found the jump massive considering I did not complete a foundation course prior to starting my first head at Hallam. But overall you meet some amazing people (inc tutors) and really get to explore your own style of designing.

Wasn't taught a thing! Tutors were never there when you needed them and there was no course structure. Waste of £9000.

Only just started the course but it is going well so far.

The course and tutors are great just a shame the university doesn’t give the course enough funding as we have to pay for all software ourselves and there’s no funding for transport for national competitions which results in the completions getting cancelled.

The most approachable, caring, and talented lecturers. They do as much as they need to help us learn.

Overall is good. Tutors are nice and helpful.

An amazingly interesting subject

Good regular feedback and review sessions. Really responsive to our feedback as students.

I enjoyed and thought what was on offer was good. Being slightly generous with the rating because there was a large amount of time where I didn't have time in the course as the University (and others) went on strike. That's an issue with the higher ups and not the art department though.

Nice room and nice services

Teachers and students are kind to international students.

Excellant facilities

My course is Fashion Management not fashion design but it wasn’t given as an option.

More than 10 hours contact time a week would be helpful

Brilliant course, independent with people around in the studio to help when needed

Though enthusiastic to start, is been a gradual slope of disappointment and not very challenging

Great course, really informative and interesting.

good course just needed time to settle in

was good learnt a lot but i wish that the class sizes were smaller, however I understand this isn't necessarily possible. I have found I am much more successful in smaller teaching groups in the past

Good course and good teaching

Some aspects of the course are creatively challenging, motivating you to try your best. Yet some parts of the course feel tedious and useless at times. Curated by lectures and when designers give workshops to students are very insightful and enjoyable. Tutors are friendly and approachable as well.

Good staff
