Sheffield Hallam University (reviews)

The academic quality and teaching at Sheffield Hallam University during my Master’s degree were positive, but international students must be extremely cautious about administrative timelines.
​There is a critical operational gap between the university’s final result publication date (and Administrative Review outcomes) and the Home Office Student Visa expiration date. Because final dissertation results and administrative decisions are declared very close to visa expiry dates, international students are left with virtually no time buffer to apply for in-country post-study visas (like the Graduate Route visa) or resolve any result discrepancies.
​If an Administrative Review or result confirmation takes longer than expected, you are forced to leave the UK immediately to remain compliant with immigration laws.
​Advice for future international students: Check your CAS course end dates and exact result release windows before enrolling, and plan your exit or visa strategy far in advance. I strongly urge the university registry to adjust assessment schedules to provide better protection for international students

I enjoyed the experience of gaining research skills and accessing relevant psychology related knowledge. The course had a broad mix of varied topics that I will be able to incorporate into my writing.

I studies for an MA in Film Studies to support my teaching role. It was a very well designed course with very knowledgeable and approachable teaching staff. The campus was fine, old school but did the job. One negative was the introduction a one new staff member who knew less about the specific part of the module they taught than I did, but you have to start somewhere.

Hallam’s business school is decent. Unfortunately, my university years were heavily impacted by COVID, which they poorly handled (in my opinion). This means that I didn’t get to experience the uni opportunity such as the study abroad program I got accepted or join societies for 2 out of the 3 years studying.

Teaching for the business school secton is good. Heavily tailored to theory, rather than practical. Which is a shame.

Campus looks nice and the cafetiere offers a meal box for the price of 2£, which are quite satisfying and worth the price.
