The University of Sheffield provides exceptional quality of teaching, a multitude of opportunities for extra-curricular activities and has a great network of Pastoral care services. Over my 4 years at the university, I have always felt supported by lecturers and academic staff and able to access support that is tailored to the needs of each student.

During my time at the University of Sheffield I had a really positive experience both within an academic setting as well as every other aspect of university life. First of all, my course was really interesting and lived up to my expectations. I had the opportunity to study a range of topics such as French literature and Latin American music. The opportunity to spend my year abroad in South America and Switzerland was definitely the highlight of my degree. Outside of my studies, Sheffield offered a wide range of activities and opportunities to take part in different projects. The enormous quantity of societies to choose from means that there is something for everyone, personally I had the chance to be the president of the Hispanic society and I also participated in an exchange to Nicaragua to teach English. I also participated in sports such as Netball and Zumba which was really important in order to maintain a balance between studying and staying active, something that the University promoted and made accessible to all students. The ‘we are international’ slogan the University boasts means that the atmosphere is really multi-cultural and vibrant. Overall, I would recommend the University of Sheffield to anyone looking for a well-rounded university experience with the chance to become a confident individual.
