I enrolled into the University of Sheffield in 2015 up to 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
Sheffield, as a city in its own right, is relatively smaller than most other cities that currently host universities within the UK. This gives Sheffield a ‘homely’ feeling, whereby you never particularly feel lost or alone, but you never feel overwhelmed either.
The state of the art buildings and numerous study spaces allow students to prioritise their work in harmony with one another. The facilities within these buildings are also of a high standard, as coffee shops and food venues are generously spread through every campus/ building.
The lecturers are all extremely accommodating and understanding. Difficulties could always be shared with many of the very down-to-earth course facilitators.
I would, however, highlight that the course structure and integration of courses within each year were sometimes poorly considered. The cohesion between exams and essays (that were due for different modules) became a little panic-worthy at times, depending on the modules that were chosen. The modules that were on offer (at the time of my enrolment) were also somewhat lacking. However, upon my graduation, I do believe that this issue was noted and that steps were being made to try and resolve the latter.
Overall, I met amazing people, felt safe and would enrol in Sheffield all over again, given the opportunity. It looks great for employers on my CV and I most definitely recommend the University of Sheffield to anybody considering.

There are a lot of student societies and all kinds of activities every week to fulfil your off-class life. The student union, one of the best in UK, also does a very good job. I would highly recommend UoS.

The School of Law, in particular, offers a breadth of interesting modules and the opportunity to study abroad wherever your heart desires. Personally, I chose to study on the Gold Coast in Australia where I not only learnt about another jurisdiction but also enjoyed the Australian 5 month summer break which I spent travelling around Australia and South East Asia.
The modules are wide-ranging and allow students to explore which legal pathway suits them best, whilst receiving excellent support and guidance from the teaching team. It is thanks to the University of Sheffield Law School and the opportunities which it affords, that I am about to commence my training contract with a Local Authority and pursue my passion for Child Care Family Law.
This university is amazing and I can’t recommend it enough. From great accommodation facilities, namely Endcliffe village to word class facilities such as the Diamond – the university has it all. The university is centrally located near to west street. Also, the university has an incredible students union which hosts club nights such as pop tarts and boasts facilities such as a shop, Santander branch and numerous eateries. I loved my 3 years at the university and couldn’t recommend it enough.
