Student review [#15914] for Business and Management
at University of Sheffield

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.
