Really great and welcoming university. After just completing my first year studying Sociology I couldn't be happier that I chose SHU; all the lectures are really supportive, friendly and approachable. The course is relevant and topical where it can be and this is futher supported by the fact that SHU has a large number of lecturers that are active in their field of study. I've made plenty of good friends whilst studying here and am looking forward to 2nd and 3rd year.

My time of Sheffield Hallam was better than I could have ever imagined. My lecturers were so lovely and helpful, the facilities i.e. library and helpdesks, were so useful and efficient but most importantly the positive atmosphere of the uni and the students made going into uni an absolute pleasure.

Sheffield is a great place to be as a student! Hallam's campus is situated around the City Centre meaning everywhere is accessible by foot! The support I have received at Hallam has been above and beyond.
This is lovely to hear, I'm glad you've benefitted from the support available at Hallam. Yes - everything in walking distance makes things very convenient! Thanks, Bridget :)
Univeristy is good, and the facilities are top quality and the atmosphere is nice. However as a first year I am yet to even go to the students union as there are no interesting events on and there are not many societies in comparison to some other univeristies.
Glad you've had a great experience at Hallam and taken advantage of our facilities! Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Student's Union, it's always good to hear all types of views to help us improve! Thanks, Bridget
Only thing I would change is the student Union - building is shocking and as a result nobody uses.it

I'm pleased you think so! And yes there are so many things to do in Sheffield to keep you entertained. Thanks, Bridget

Good experience overall, could be better tho
Great to hear! We are interested in all kinds of feedback, what things could be improved here? Thanks, Bridget
This university had great facilities and very friendly and helpful staff. After graduating at hallam and doing further study at a red brick university I have realised to appreciate the good quality services found at Hallam.
Yes, we are proud of the facilities we have here at Hallam. I'm glad you've benefitted from the services here too! Thanks, Bridget
There are 2 campuses which can be a hassle. Also if you are unfamiliar with a building that you are in for a lesson it can be a pain to find where it is as the campus is lots of different buildings. This is due to the nameing and numbers used to lable rooms etc is not very easy to understand. Seems to be many of clubs and socitiew and the socities are always activly present in the city with nights out and fundraisers etc. Students Union is quite small and not commonly used by students. There is lots of room for improvement especially compared to many other student unions i have visited. Careers service offer lots of resource to aid placement getting, part time job getting and cv building. For my experience they have been great. Internet and wifi can sometimes be a hassle to connect to and you need help to connect the first time.
Hi, thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you've had a brilliant experience with the careers service and I hope it has helped for your future. It is also good to hear that the societies are active in the city. Sorry to hear you've had trouble with navigating the campuses and that you've had difficulty connecting to the internet on occasions. As a university, including the students union, we are open to feedback so if you would like to email enquiries@shu.ac.uk your comments we can look at ways to improve. Thanks, Bridget
It’s a really nice, modern and cosy homely feel to it and it made feel very welcome during my first few weeks.
Hi, I'm glad you've had a positive experience at Hallam and it has felt like home for you! Thanks, Bridget
If you’re serious about university, dont go to this joke of a uni. Could easily teach yourself this s*** and the lecturers aren’t anything special so save yourself 9 grand a year
Hi, sorry you've had this experience at Hallam. What course did you do/are you doing? What was the problem with the lecturers? Did you not receive enough support from them? We welcome all feedback and are happy to talk in more detail about how we can help resolve this. Contact us here Thanks, Bridget
Great, cheap accomodation. Really good induction week with lots of activities to help students make friends. Overall the uni has a great community feel and is really welcoming and friendly. Sheffield is a lovely city too with great (cheap!!!) night life.
Hi, thanks for this! I'm glad you've had a brilliant time here and made the most of the activities. We are proud of the community we've created at Hallam and I'm happy you're benefitting from exploring the city too! Bridget

Been a quality uni I'm loving the facilities. The library is particularly on point and I love the ability to take laptops home for people who don't have any
I'm happy you've had a brilliant experience at Hallam, and glad that the library has fulfilled your needs! Bridget

Pretty decent uni, I’m a nursing student and the facilities are great. The labs are in top shape and the campuses are nice ☺️
Good luck with your nursing degree, it must be such a rewarding profession! I'm glad you're making the most of the labs and facilities. Yeah Collegiate Campus is great isn't it! Thanks, Bridget
I have spent 4 years at Sheffield Hallam University for my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and would recommend Hallam to anyone. Great facilities, interesting course structure and a strong sense of belonging and pride.
Hi, I'm glad you had a lovely time here, and that you feel a strong sense of belonging and pride- this is something we are really proud of here at Hallam. Thanks, Bridget
Sheffield Hallam don’t like to put their hands in their pockets; no do they like to give credits to students who actually work hard for the duration of their studies. If you want to have to take time off work/out of your further studies to have your graduation, it’s the perfect uni. With graduation in November because they don’t want to have to pay to rent out the city hall in summer. Then when you get to graduation they fail to give credit to the students who have the highest grade overall on their course (wasn’t me so I’m not being bias). It was good when I was there and it’s fair to say I had fun. But now I’ve moved on I can see the areas in which they fail to consider what students want over how much it will cost.
I'm sorry you've had this experience at Hallam, please can you elaborate on "nor do they like to give credits to students who actually work hard for the duration of their studies"? How would this look? I will give this feedback about failing to give credit to highest grade students at graduation to the alumni team so they can address this and make improvements for the future. I'll also let them know about the difficulties some people face with a graduation ceremony in November. I'm glad you had fun when you were here! Thanks, Bridget
Love my uni! All the lecturers are very friendly and the facilities are amazing especially for nursing
Hi, this is lovely feedback to read - I am glad you are loving the experience here! Good luck with your studies and future career. Thanks, Bridget
Fantastic course with warm & welcoming people who make you feel at home in Sheffield

Hi, I'm really glad you love it at Hallam and that you feel at home here, sense of place and belonging is something we strive for so it is lovely to hear this feedback. Merry Christmas! Bridget
Started a new course, to find the course tutor had lied about certain things so students would join. Which now means I will have to restart a new course next year. Awful uni.
Hi, sorry you've had this experience at Hallam, which course did you originally start? And are you doing a totally different course next year? I can feedback this information to the staff so this doesn't happen again. I hope your experience going forwards is better. Thanks, Bridget
I really enjoy this uni and feel like I learn a lot on my course
I'm glad you are enjoying uni life and you are learning a lot from your course. This is lovely feedback to receive. Thanks, Bridget

I'm glad you're enjoying your time at Hallam. Sorry about any inconvenience casued by the no printing policy, why have you found this annoying? I will feedback to the department about this. Bridget

Amazing uni, amazing city, amazing support, and facilities
Hi, I'm glad you've had a brilliant time here! It is great to hear feedbcak like this. For anyone thinking of going to Hallam, here is our website. Bridget
Reyt good uni. Proper Yorkshire place
Awesome! Yes it is indeed. I'm glad you've had the best time here. Bridget
Sheffield Hallam is an overall good university although it has a lot of room for improvement
Sheffield Hallam offers vibrant learning environment in one the UKs best city's for students. The courses are well run and there is lots to choose from + Louis Therouix got a doctorate from here. When you're not studying there is plenty to do for everyone, especially if you are outdoorsy lite myself.
Sheffield Hallam University has been a great experience for me, catering for everything I could ever need, there is always something (a service or a club) that fits exactly what I’m looking for. I would highly recommend going to Hallam
Amazing university with fantastic facilities and student support #HallamRanger
Amazing. I loved my time at SHU
Terrible student support, don’t stick to learning contracts, unhelpful to harmful student support officers and little to no financial support, and little disabled student support
The experiences at Hallam are phenomenal as I have never experienced in my life! Like going to Iceland. Hallam has wonderful staff on your course and help you as much as they can! It is truly the best place to go !
When going through a really tough time during exam period last year the wellbeing team were absolutely amazing! I wouldn't have made it through the end of the year without them. Having never registered with the wellbeing team I came to Colliegate campus needing help as I was experiencing a very serious personal problem. The staff there got me in contact with the wellbeing team immediately and paid for a taxi for me to get to an available appointment on time. I cannot express how much I appreciate what they did for me. I've never received this kind of help from anywhere I've studied/worked.
The uni is good and the tutors are very helpful and act like they really want to help. My only negatives are a lot of the services offered at the university are often very slow and sometimes don’t help and also lots of the sport societies have awful rules and tricks they play on freshers to bully and intimidate them.
Great place to study with fantastic opportunities on offer
Sheffield Hallam was instantly preferred for me when looking round other universities and I have settled into it extremely easy
A brilliant uni in the Heart of the City centre. So much support and funding offered with a lot of guidance and encouragement to get experience alongside studies. Great resources.
I like there is WiFi, vending machine, microwave, card machine, train ticket machine and keetle at the main campuses! I really SHU
Very well organised and students are taught practical skills rather than just academic
Being at Sheffield Hallam has expanded so many horizons for me. The learning experience is fantastic and so is the night life. There are so many extra curricular to get involved in and so many ways to enhance your CV. There’s so many opportunities for you to get involved in. Sadly the Student Union isn’t that great but there’s so much to do in Sheffield that it doesn’t matter too much.
I love Sheffield Hallam, there is so much of a community spirit and so many events! If you’re not into ‘stereotypical’ uni societies, there is definitely something still for you! I feel so safe on campus and wouldn’t change my uni experience for the world, the facilities are amazing too!
An amazing university where you feel right at home! Staff are lovely and the buildings are modern. I have had a lovely 3 years here!
Simply amazing, I don’t know what else to say, the ratings say it all
Great uni, nice environment and nice people,
The university has provided me with really good friends and life experiences.
Partly to blame on me not focusing on my studies however when I resat some assignments I didn't find out if I had actually passed until mid September by which time I had actually been sent a timetable for the full year and was recieving emails from lectures about field studies and reading lists which prompted me that I had passed and had moved into a flat and signed a 10 month lease. Turns out I hadn't passed and so I either had to re-enroll and retake the year or drop out. After a mental debate I decided I didn't want to be part of an institution that didn't help it's students, due to me dropping out I had no student finance backing and had to try find someone to take on my flat lease, which the uni wouldn't help with whatsoever. In the end I've ended up having to set up a payment plan and have been paying off the debt monthly due to a mistake on my behalf of not studying and the amazing admin skills of the Sheffield Hallam University faculty.
The student union is in a poor location and no reason to go there
Good uni with good facilities and happy with the course leaders
Great uni overall, just with there were more societies. Although you can set up your own
I’ve not yet found a single fault with Sheffield Hallam and I Have loved every minute of my time here. My bank account thinks otherwise
Very good facilities, lecturers and atmosphere
Absolutely loved my experience at Hallam!
Good but it is difficult to find a job
Really great university. Really accommodting to individuals.
Very good university feels like home
Lovely campus with friendly staff
Utterly lovely collegate campus. Everyone so helpful and guiding. Staff are good with directs. Shame the RWB doesnt have microwave/ kettle for dinner facilites unlime the HOTC but can make do
Good university but could be better
Worst uni! Don’t go here worst decision of my life
The whole university is amazing
Great university with modern campuses and loads to do in a city great for students
Lovely open campus with many areas to chill and do work. Facilities are great.
Honestly so welcoming, easy to get around, always places to sit, eat, socialise
The Uni offers a wide range of things to do so you are always busy and that the accomdiation is always cheaper. Hallam till i die
Very sociable Amazing tutors Good interior design
Great university environment, near town centre makes it the best
Dont really involve you with anything or give you any information about things.
Good university but mismanagement issues sometimes.
I can happily say that Sheffield Hallam is a great university. Pros: - Good range of courses. - lecturers/doctors that have solid experience in their fields. - Very close to town centre which is incredibly useful. - Decent student union with some fantastic societies. - big bonus at least on my course is the option of paid work experience for a year which a lot of unis don't offer. Cons: - 1 of my lecturers was garbage and I was better off just catching up from lecture notes, not ideal. - labs (at least computer labs) are a bit dated compared to some of the more prestigious unis. - feedback on work is oftentimes not very insightful. Don't let the cons put you off, I had to really pick my head to think of some. It's a fantastic university oftentimes gets a lot of stick for having to many students that focus on nights out more than their studies. If you crack on you'll love it!
Sheffield Hallam is a great university, it has multiple building all of which have good facilities.
Sometimes okay, sometimes not okay. But mostly okay.
Really great and welcoming university. After just completing my first year studying Sociology I couldn't be happier that I chose SHU; all the lectures are really supportive, friendly and approachable. The course is relevant and topical where it can be and this is futher supported by the fact that SHU has a large number of lecturers that are active in their field of study. I've made plenty of good friends whilst studying here and am looking forward to 2nd and 3rd year.
Far too much group work integrated into the course. Wish I'd chose another university.
Decent. Not bad. Could be better.
I am not the best example of an active member of the university but I know it's all there. I think there could be improvements to how people can get information about societies etc after fresher's fair because if you don't attend that circus I honestly don't think they offer other avenues apart from online. So try and be braver than me to make the most of what is on offer and attend as many of the fairs as you can.
Great central location for uni, lots of help available if required and lots of clubs to get involved with.
Good facilities and you’ll find everything you’d possibly need to learn. WiFi is extremely awkward to connect to
Student Union barely bothered with our course, other than the Nursing Society team, more bothered with playing rugby than supporting students? Academic support from University is great though. Collegiate Campus is a great place to study.
Sheffield Hallam was the perfect choice, I wouldn't have rather have picked anywhere else! It's a very sociable university that promotes having fun and making as many friends as you can throughout your time there, whilst supporting your studies to ensure you achieve the highest possible degree you can. Sheffield Hallam also has evert facility you may need during your degree. There's a club/society for absolutely every past-time/sport. Varsity is the biggest sporting event of the year and is fun for everyone to get involved in (even if you don't play sport!). Friends from all other unis come to watch the Ice Hockey that completes the Varsity event, which is followed by an epic night out where everyone from both unis (Hallam and Uni of) enjoy together. It's location is perfect for students, centre of the city and close to everything! Everything is within walking distance from each other, making it the perfect choice!
Some students here are chilled out, interesting, clever and mature whereas some still act as if they are 15 years old and have only just discovered what drinking is... anyway, it’s a beautiful little city and the uni is modern, full of life and welcoming. Not too far from Uni of Sheffield so it’s easy to mingle with students in both uni’s. It’s a really chilled out place to study, you make it what you will of it! The friends I’ve made here are exactly like me and we’ve found a lovely little cafe/restaurant by the Graves Art Gallery where we chill out and then there’s all sorts of really cute pubs and vintage shops that we spend our weekends at. I moved to Sheffield with my boyfriend and we’ve found some gorgeous little restaurants and date places. There’s so much to do in sheffield! Definitely check it out, Sheffield Hallam is definitely worth it - lots of interesting people, the teaching is absolutely brilliant and the help services are there to help with everything.
My experience at Hallam was awful, I had several lectures that were rude and very unhelpful and I was denied help from a couple of them on several occasions. Some of the building are very fun down and even dirty. I felt very alone through out my time at Hallam and left feeling very low and had lost all my confidence.
Sheffield Hallam is a great uni but have areas that could be improved. As a disabled student talking to the disabilty support in a drop in session is like talking to a brick wall and they don't know what they are doing as it took me 3 months to get support after apprently sorting it out in may.
Fantastic university, cannot fault! Best decision I made and I’m so glad I stayed on. They have helped me in many ways and not just academically. Staff are all lovely and completely helpful
nice it being centre of town. staff really helpful
Enrolment process completely shambolic even when I had all the documentation and DBS check in advance. No proper induction. No support services for PGCE students available outside of school hours. No willingness to resolve major issues with placements. Then someone decided not to mark my last assignment despite it being submitted correctly and on time so I can't even get academic credits. SHU have wasted a year of my life and £9k. AVOID
Sheffield is a great city,with loads to offer
Sheffield Hallam is a very poor university if I could go back and choose my uni's I would avoid this place at all costs! Lecturers are terrible and not supportive in the slightest whilst the actual facilities shockingly poor. However, the nightlife in Sheffield is really good as are the societies. Sheffield itself is a lovely place to live and is inexpensive. I recommend the city but not Sheffield Hallam University!
Absolutely Unprofessional! My academic transcript clearly showed my dissertation score. Nevertheless, they didn't bother looking at it and they wrote to me that my application wasn't sufficiently completed. I replied and explained how to find it. Yet, they ignored my reply, never got it back to me, never made an apology for their negligence. Avoid this educational institution guys! Several better universities for us to apply.
Really enjoy coming to uni here. The staff are so helpful and so nice. The facilities in the newer buildings are better than the older ones but that is to be expected.
Nice campus, a bit of rivalry with (the better) Uni of Sheffield. I didn't realise that this uni had a bad-ish reputation otherwise I would have picked something else as I had the grades to. It seems like Hallam get all their students through clearing as many that I've talked to didn't get the grades required to get in
Sheffield Hallam is a great, fun university which runs a lot of social events.
An amazing uni. Would definitely recommend it.
The campus is very modern and big. The wifi is okay good and bad in places. The library is amazing!!
All of the above are great albeit far away from each other. If you have any lessons or lectures in collegiate then good luck travelling from there all the way to city campus.
Brilliant student union and support services
Lovely university staff are always friendly and helpful
Love going to Sheffield Hallam. Great uni, friendly people. Student union isnt that great, however, you have access to the Uni of Sheffield students union so win win.
Awful internet in Hallam, good facilities nothing special
FREE WIFI EVERYWHERE ON CAMPUS THAT'S PRETTY DECENT. YAAAAAAAY.
Brilliant campus!! But I would recommend better wifi connection for next year
Love Sheffield Hallam, loads going on and always new opportunities to further studies
The University provides students with lots of free connections to training materials and courses from professional websites that are useful for supporting a student when working on their degree, they also have many high end computers and advanced facilities related to computing and games development in particular. The student union is not very large but it is quite active and many societies exists that students can join - I was not a member of any particular society The career service was very good at providing students with connections and opportunities available in many companies looking to hire either graduates or students for a placement year. The University's internet service is very reliable and speedy.
Sheffield Hallam University has plenty of campus' for each subject and has loads of friendly staff and people there. Everyone is really helpful and there's always plenty of activities to take part in.
The problem with SHU is, no-one really wants to be there. SHU's academic rating is so low, it's likely a hindrance to your career to admit working there... so staff leave at any opportunity. All that seem to be left are incompetents. IT services were laughable ... no exaggeration, 1 day out of 8 they just wouldn't work; disinterested admin staff making the most basic tasks impossible; the facilities were all poorly managed and geared around making money from you ... but the 'academics'?! They'd be absent, they'd just leave (no fewer than 3 lecturers left from my course alone in 1 year), they'd be ... incoherent (the head of my department had such poor English they were indecipherable) or, frankly, stupid - their notes often made no sense of were factually ... like a_quick_Google_from_my_phone, factually *wrong* Nice people and Sheffield itself has loads to be proud of - but SHU (not to be confused with Secure Housing Unit in prison) was a waste of 2 years and 7 grand
Huge range of societies up for offer. SU is quite small. Free Wifi everywhere.
Its all based in convenient places and the libraries are spacious
overall a good uni with great facilities and a fantastic city
Great uni over all, union food is brilliant
Joining a society is the best thing you can do to make friends and have fun
I loved being at uni ,met some great people and I hope to come across them in the future.will miss the nightlife in sheff.
Printing is way too expensive for £9K a year... very good facilities, careers service is really useful, the SU is tiny compared to others and the drinks aren't very cheap (may as well go to a pub), food at uni is quite expensive, like nearly 3 quid for a sandwich, staff are friendly and supportive. Language classes are available to students but cost a lot. Not a very big range of societies to choose from compared to other universities. City centre location is excellent, very difficult to park anywhere that's cheap though
Nice university, campuses very good. Sheffields clubs aren't brilliant though
Shu space and Internet down multiple times, no bins in women's toilet cubicles
Well trained and informative staff
Need to be more open and larger choice on clubs or society or even just to be promoted more
Facilities are excellent and the student union is great accommodating for everyone. However the only downfall is the Lecturers, some of which show no enthusiasm and may as well not be there.
Really nice place and very organised. Facilities are great
Lovely modern friendly university. Very helpful support staff and great facilities. The only downside being is the lack of use the student union gets!
really great university, couldn't imagine being anywhere else
Sept 2015 cohort. Informative lectures, great teaching staff, good facilities including cashless system, supportive and decent nightlife
great nightlife even better academic support
Nice and modern city campus with a great social vibe about it, high variety of learning facilities and a great SU to suit.
Very little green space was my first reaction. There are a lot of clubs to join but the bar at the SU is pretty poor beside from on quiz night when there is not a seat in the building. The library is large and very confusing, books for my subject where dotted about on all different floors and places. The library is open 24/7 which does really help and there are many different working areas for different needs.
Great uni, having a brilliant time
The aren't that many societies that aren't course or sports related
Really like the uni and facilities etc. The wifi doesn't work on campus and the lifts can be quite slow but it is a great uni to study at.
Overall good experience so far but disappointed with the clubs and societies on offer.
The campus has both a modern but timed look to it, and is in a good condition
Really nice buildings, well laid out.
Fresher's week is crazy with free stuff being thrown at you, the City Campus has a number of places to eat all of which are great value, The union bar is very nice but it's a shame it's not open on Sundays.
The uni itself is fantastic, almost everything they offer helps you improve your employability. The library is fantastic and accommodates all types of students, quiet or loud or groups, for any kind of project. Essay writing, group posters, silent reading; whatever you want to do, you can do in the Sheffield Hallam Library. Also the automated renting system is fantastically impressive.
Only visited the campus a few times so far but nice and modern, can't date other facilities as not yet used then
I enjoy the university. I am at collegiate campus which is really nice and every where is easy to find, not to intimidating like other universities and campuses. Great to find cheap food nearby and things to do. However, the library is far too small for a university and the food they sell at the campus is expensive (to say they are supposed to be accommodating for students). Could be better.
Love Sheffield Hallam university, the people, the city.. everything. would definitely recommend joining a club or society in first year to make as much friends as possible because it can get quite lonely if you limit yourself to your flat.
I have really loved my three years at Sheffield Hallam. It's a lovely, friendly university, which has challenged me and encouraged me to succeed!
Everything is really good at the university. I am based at collegiate campus doing a sport course. The only let downs were although I went to the sport society opening. It was a bit packed and struggled to find what I was looking for.
Great Uni, could do with a few more computers and the student health centre is very very bad at getting back to me at appointments.
I've not been to the clubs and societies, but people that i know who have say that they're really good. I also haven't yet used the wifi there, but people do use tablets and laptops in seminars and lectures and they haven't complained yet! I'm in love with the uni, it's a great place and has a lot to offer, especially since the library is huge, theres plenty of resources you can use.
So glad I came Hallam as the experience I've had is so far been amazing I'm so glad I've carried on with my sport as if I didn't I wouldn't of made such amazing people. All facilities are kept so well and looked after on both campus
Glad I chose this uni over my other choices. Not the best uni in the world, but it's better than most other uni's in the country. I'd definitely recommend them.
I love Sheffield Hallam University. Although it is not a campus uni, the university building are all very close together, and are right in the centre of Sheffield making a short trip into town very easy. My main fault with the uni would be the students union as it is not a very big building and does not advertise many events, activities etc. too well.
Absolutely adore the uni, and the city itself
Don't regret my decision to attend Hallam, great university in a great city
Sheffield Hallam is a great university in an exciting city. From my time there I have found my course to be really interesting and engaging and there are plenty of options to learn more about what interests you. Hallam has a placement year option available for almost every course making sure you are an employable graduate by the time you leave. There is a dedicated careers and employability centre and lots of events and talks throughout the year to provide students with the relevant information and contacts they need to get where they want to be in industry. There's loads of great sports facilities and even our own Sportspark. I have enjoyed my time at Sheffield Hallam so much and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Hallam has been great! If you live in sheffield then you will know the hallam v uni of rivalry. I personally got the grades for uni of and still chose hallam. I study languages with TESOL and the course seemed more suited to me as I could base my languages around teaching and it also gives me the option of spending 18 months abroad where I would only have had a year at uni of. The uni is pretty relaxed, they won't chase you if you're not turning up to things so you just need to take that responsibility and you'll be fine! The uni is very sociable and there is always many nights out(it's normally hard deciding where you want to go on a night out as there's normally a couple of club/student nights on each day) the location is great as it's in the city centre and very close to everything. I've not had to once a bus at all. Student union only has a bar which does an awesome smart phone quiz on a Monday but there's that many student nights it's not an issue at all.
Teachers are great plus careers advice Is amazing
Love the WiFi connection & my teachers
Its OK I guess but students union is the best part
I love the city and course Not to mention my tutors rock
Not a bad place for my postgraduate degree. Good teachers
Thank You To My Teacher Rachel For Making My Learning worthwhile
Great facility and I can't wait to graduate.
I really like the university & my course however I would like there to be more musical activities available @ the students union
Hallam is alright. There should be a part to rate the organisation of the university i.e. admin etc... because that has been TERRIBLE in my experience. But if you take away the lack of organisation then my experience at Sheffield Hallam has been completely positive.
I absolutely love studying at Sheffield Hallam (even if the Students' Union is a bit rubbish!) because the campus is modern, has great facilities and is located right near the city centre.
The support network for final year students is outstanding. I feel confident in being able to access the support that I need while I have the opportunity to engage in fantastic programmes including student socials, societies and academic support.
The course is unorganised and I don't receive the full education I am paying for but the other services are good.
An amazing experience I have loved every minute and would recommend this university proudly!
With a library open 24/7 all year round, a massive range of sports and societies and lecturers that will always make time for you, I would definitely recommend this university to all.
Sheffield Hallam University is a great place to study. It has a fantastic range of courses to choose from. The lecturers are supportive. The halls of residence are located in a lovely part of the city near to the campus. It is an inexpensive place to live. The amenities and nightlife offer many opportunities to socialise and make friends. There are many parks and green areas and it is next to the Peak District National Park. The people are friendly too.
going to Hallam really was the best decision I've made.
Modern university with great facilities
the best uni by far ! Fab tutors and architecture rules !
Best university experience I could have possibly asked for!
Minimal contact hours for course costs and some lecturers just not very helpful.
Great University, friendly atmosphere, lecturers and staff. Sources are impeccable whether it be software, hardware or advice!
Verry good university I would reccomend it to anyone
The best university, I have so much fun whilst learning loads
Coming to hallam was the best decision I have ever made.
Tutors and Lecturers can be rude and lazy, only a couple that actually care about your understanding but instead more concerned about just you knowing the answer and not how to get there. If you can, go University of Sheffield.
However some staffs are definitely giving an impressions of they are only there for their wages
Great city, brilliant uni. The staff listen and perform when we give them feedback. It is a constant effort to improve and they are doing a great job. Go Hallam!
Great uni, Just wish we had more of a student union night thats all! :P
Excellent university! As a Bioscience student, the labs we use are first-rate, with many of the same facilities as are available in research labs and industry. The library is filled with excellent computers (with a very good booking system) and all the books we need. Any journals we need but that the uni don't have can be ordered in for us, free of charge. Wifi is VERY fast and works perfectly. Staff are supportive and helpful, and usually lecture in the area they are researching. Very knowledgable and always seem enthusiastic. Lots of support available for careers, ie how to get jobs and how to be the best applicant, hence why such a high percentage of graduates are in work or further study. The Union is good but the building itself could be improved. They provide good support for students and always have a wide range of activities to sign up for. Societies are run well, and the number is always increasing so there are loads to join. I'm incredibly happy here!
Vast research into a course is required, or you end up being on a course that is misadvertised.
Best place for art and design, plenty of facilities and tutor support. The clubs and pubs around the university campus are great too.
I would never recommend this university to anyone. The lack of organisation not only rubs through the faculty aces, but also you can feel it in the uni as a whole. The health service and student support are good however. Great support.
