Overall, studying at the University of Sheffield has been a good experience.
In regards to facilities, the university can provide the right spaces and equipment for everyone.
As for the professors, one thing I’ve noticed is the inconsistency between them. Some are available, others aren’t. Mostly, their inconsistency is found in essays’ feedbacks, with some professors criticizing aspects of an essay that other professors don’t criticize or even praises. In turn, it can make a student who’s not familiar with the British University system very confused.
Two areas should be improved: more guidance for European and International students because our education system is different from the British one, and equal opportunities for both parties.
This is not to say that as students we shouldn’t take our responsibilities and learn by making mistakes, but it would be better if the expectations set on us could be fulfilled with more cooperation between students and the school.
The International experience at the University is positive but needs improvement. You get to meet and familiarise with people from all over the world but some schools lack diversity or do not provide an environment where people from different countries can interact with each other. The school of East Asian studies, more specifically in the postgraduate courses, presents a huge number of international students coming from the same country. It means that although they are studying abroad, it doesn’t feel like it, because they don’t have many chances to interact with home students.
As for student life, the University offers different activities and societies and everyone can find the right group of people with the same passions.
The university provides lots of services and support and luckily it’s not tricky nor hard to sort a problem if any arises.
