Sheffield Hallam University
speciality: Marketing

I’m a third-year marketing student at Sheffield Hallam and overall I’ve really enjoyed my time here. The course is very practical, which is exactly what I was looking for. We focus on real-life marketing campaigns, current industry trends, and there’s a big emphasis on employability. I’ve had chances to build up experience with things like social media strategy and content creation, and the lecturers are actually really supportive and down to earth. Sheffield as a city is also a huge plus. It’s affordable, has a really friendly vibe, and there’s loads going on for students. Plus, having the Peak District so close is amazing when you need a break from uni life. It’s definitely a good place to study if you want something career-focused but still chilled and enjoyable.

Sheffield Hallam university has a great support to help you with your course when you find things difficult. I have learned a lot, it improved my social life, and the libraries are very well equipped and a nice place for a quite study. Highly recommended if you wanna have a great career later in future.

I was expecting a few more modules that would have some form of fun element to them, though all of the modules themselves were solidly set out and helped me to understand the ‘backstage’ area of marketing more than I did before. There was a huge level of internationality within the cohort and every day I met someone from a new area and learned a little more about different cultures just by being in a room with people. Though this also did mean that there were difficulties at times when cultures collided.

The tutors were good and knew what they were doing. Some were far more helpful than others and a whole group of us didn’t get on with one particular tutor as they weren’t necessarily the most warm-hearted out of the bunch. But overall the tutors gave a positive experience.
