Student review [#40214] for Law
at University of Sheffield

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.
