The University of Sheffield is the first university I came into contact with, which has carried my whole undergraduate career. I love this university, plain and stable, but mixed with some boring. It was a big, less prosperous city, where heavy industry was gradually eliminated because of restrictions on the steel industry. A large part of the city’s vitality seems to come from foreign students. I studied at the University of Sheffield’s School of Management, a department on a hill where the daily trek was a bit exhausting. The teacher’s enthusiasm enables students to stimulate their own learning motivation, which is a very good guide. The course that impressed me the most was the one involving psychology and management in my junior year, which was the first time I came into contact with the interaction between subjects. These disciplines seem to have their roots in philosophy, including different discourses, and play a considerable role in learning the ability to think critically. This way of thinking is based on the improvement of their own ability to measure interests. In this stage of exercise is more logical, and critical thinking ability. There is a reason why the University of Sheffield arranges courses to study management philosophy, including social constructivism in psychology and so on. All of this has benefited me tremendously. This is a university worthy of being recommended.

I’m loving this experience so far, is just amazing. I feel like I’m receiving a lot of support from the university staff, especially due to Covid 19. I do recommend it to everyone, it doesn’t matter where you come from, you will feel like home. I’m an international student here and people are just so friendly, I can always ask for help from anyone and I never felt alone, even though I came by myself and I didn’t know anyone. You will learn a lot from classes and you will also gain skills throughout your experience here. I also recommend taking part in societies and events, so you can meet more people from around the world.

Overall, the University of Sheffield is a place worth studying. My favourites are the Diamond Library, which is open 24 hours a day, and the multimedia classrooms. The lecturers were all professional in their academic level and could answer students’ doubts immediately. However, some professors were unable to teach during the strike, which made my satisfaction with this course decline. In addition, the internationalization of the University of Sheffield is obvious, and I can meet friends from all over the world. Finally, the Career Hub at the University of Sheffield is also very considerate. It can provide students with internship opportunities on campus. So I think the three years I’ve been here have been fruitful.

Unfortunately, we finished our MBA virtually. Global economics and corporate finance were some of my fav subjects for the way they are being taught. It is a good Uni considering student support and management but falls behind the standards in maintaining the alumni network connecting them with current students and showing internships and placements. Uni has no good network or relationship with a considerable number of employers.

Strikes twice a year lasting multiple months due to the university’s failure to negotiate successfully with unions, combined with the already minimal contact hours meant that I was left to do “independent learning” 95% of the time. Which is really an excuse for the lack of teaching staff available. The staff themselves vary greatly, some helpful and some absolutely awful. Examinations likewise vary lots in terms of difficulty, no consistent required level of knowledge or skill it seems.

Mental health support was poor, I was told I had ‘come at the wrong time’ because they were too busy, and told to wait several more months.

Students themselves predominantly interested in drinking rather than studying, which made the compulsory group work a chore and completely unhelpful.
