English studies, The University of Sheffield

The subjects are fairly interesting and you can learn a lot from there

They will give us some life advice usually. However, we must study hard to pass all the exam.

Core module is not that fun but all the optional modules are great.

The course is good so far. Good choice of modules

Loving my course so far. Sometimes I feel like I’m paying an awful lot to only be there 8 hours a week compared to my friends paying the same for 30+ hours of contact time. The teachers on my course seem really passionate and some of them are absolutely amazing at what they do. As you’d expect there are some I don’t get on with as well - mostly because their lecturing style just doesn’t suit me. Some modules are not what I’d hoped but again - it’s what you expect. Overall, the course is pretty intense in terms of independent work and readings etc, but I’d say that’s what any degree in this area is like.

Amazing place. Common room great and improving all the time. Close to university, team stop and Tesco

All of the tutors are really cool and so informative! They really want you to do well and succeed, and they certainly facilitate this success in The School of English

Interesting degree content and great teaching

Duco Van Oostrum is my idol

*This is only a review of first year!* I'd say great if you're really interested in speech therapy and the science of language. It's definitely not a course for creative people as content can be quite dry. The amount of contact time v independent study is ridiculous (and typical of an Arts and Humanities degree) which is a big reason I would not say the degree is worth £9000 a year.

Good choice of Literature modules, would have preferred more Language modules. All lecturers and seminar leaders are helpful! Personal Tutor is always around to help and answers emails within a day.

The course is great so far, looking forward to learn more about it as time goes on!

I enjoy my course, but wish I saw my personal tutor more than once.

i believe that there's not great value for money as I'm in maximum 9 hours a week, and have to buy all my own books. However the tutors and lecturers are good.

Low contact hours (9 this semester, 11 last) but due to the fact you rely on group rehearsals so much you couldn't really do much more! Teaching is great, you get a good tech training too and it's not all about the acting which I like. Felt like I've learnt more on the theatre side of the course then the English though, although you do get good feedback
