Hi,

We’re committed to ensuring our students are ready for the world of work after completing their course.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I'm pleased to hear your overall experience has been good and you've found that there are lots of resources available for you to use. Our tutors are specialists in their field and are passionate about providing support and guidance to allow you to reach your full potential and I'm pleased you've found this to be the case. 

During the pandemic, the Sheffield Hallam Students' Union has aimed to provide support, services and facilities virtually for students where possible. Due to the challenges surrounding social activities throughout the Pandemic, the Students' Union needed to limit the number of activities they provided in order to comly with government guidelines and prioritise students and staff safety. However, the Students' Union have resumed their offer of a range of exciting events and activities you can take part in, as well as acting as a base for over 100 student-run Societies. You can head to the Sheffield Hallam Students' Union website to see the latest events, as well as the support services they provide. 

The Students' Union team are keen to hear your feedback and you can share your experience of their services with them through the feedback form available on their website.

I hope this helps. 

Best wishes, Emily

Hi, there - thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying life at Hallam and making the most of the wide range of opportunities and places to explore in our great city.

Should you ever want to switch things up and escape the hustle and bustle of the inner city, why not explore all that 'The Outdoor City' has to offer. Known as the spiritual home of climbing, infamous road cycling, downhill mountain biking and being on the doorstep of the Peak District National Park - there's something for everyone to discover - from peaceful walks to adrenaline-fuelled adventure and everything in between.

Don't forget to check out our 'Guide to Sheffield for Students' - you may discover something new.

Best wishes, Luke

Hi, thanks so much for your feedback. It's lovely to hear that you've loved your time at Sheffield Hallam so far!

The Sheffield Hallam Students' Union team provide a range of events and activities you can take part in, as well as being the base for over 100 student-run Societies and it sounds like you've got involved with some of these, which is great! You can head to the Sheffield Hallam Students' Union home page to see the latest events.

One of the (many) things we love about our city is the variety of clubs, bars and pubs available. I agree that Sheffield's nightlife is amazing and it has something for all when planning a night out, not to mention an incredible live music scene. If you head over to our Guide to Sheffield for Students page, you might discover some more new places to visit in the city, including venues for nights out.

I'm so pleased you're happy with your tutors and their dedication towards ensuring students succeed. Our academic staff are passionate about encouraging students to reach their full potential.

I understand the difficulties and disruption to studies due to the recent strike action and I'm sorry to hear you needed to continue your learning online for a period, rather than in classes on campus. Our priority was to keep students informed on the available support and updated as much as possible throughout the strike. If you would like further support due to the disruptions, you can book an appointment with your Student Support Advisor through MyHallam on the Student Support Advisors page. Your advisor can help with a range of issues and can advise on other specialist services across the university that you may find useful. 

I hope this helps and thanks again for taking the time to leave your review. 

Best wishes, Emily

Hi, thanks for your review. I'm pleased to hear that you're happy with Sheffield Hallam's facilities and the wifi. We were voted one of the Top 20 Best Universities for Wifi and Internet 2021 by Student Crowd student reviewers!

We provide course specific, state-of-the-art facilities on our campuses for our students and staff as part of our strategy to ensure students gain the skills and experience needed to be fully prepared for employment after graduation. We recognise the importance of our students being able to access our range of facilities on campus, but also when studying off-campus. Our library offers advice on the Making the Most of Your Library Off-Campus page. 

I hope you find this information useful.

Best wishes, Emily

Hi, I'm very happy to hear that you would recommend Sheffield Hallam University. Thanks for your feedback on our university societies.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave such a delightful review. We could not be happier to hear this - as you're no doubt aware, we are proud to offer great teaching in a great city with even greater outcomes - our ever-growing list of reasons to study with us which details our awards for teaching quality, making higher education more accessible and providing unparalleled entrepreneurial support barely scratches the surface on what it's like to be part of our diverse #TeamHallam community - this is precisely why we encourage as many people as possible to join one of our open days to discover what Hallam has to offer and to hear directly from our staff and students as they share their experience, just like you've kindly done.

We hope you continue to have a great experience at Hallam - don't forget that we offer a wide range of support, in addition to your three dedicated advisors who are on hand to support you through to graduating and beyond.

Best wishes, Luke ✨

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave an informative and positive review. We are proud to sit right at the heart of the city (both physically and through our work), our unique positioning provides easy access to Sheffield residents and those who commute, whilst also providing access to a wide range of activities, opportunities and experiences (including the picturesque Peak District National Park which lies 20 minutes away). We are incredibly proud of our unique offer which includes a wide range of lifelong support and opportunities we offer in terms of careers, placements, volunteering and global opportunities - as such, we are delighted to hear that you're happy with the support on offer.

Take care and best wishes, Luke ✨

Hi, thanks for leaving your review. It's lovely to hear that you've found our lecturers to be helpful and the study environment to be friendly here at Sheffield Hallam. Our lecturers strive to provide as much support as possible and want to see each student succeed. 

We're committed to providing equal opportunities for all students and staff from all backgrounds, ethnicities and nationalities and we're passionate about providing a learning environment that encourages everyone to collaborate and share their views and experiences, as a crucial factor in allowing our students and staff to realise their full potential. However, I completely agree that ensuring we excel at this aim requires continual work and development.

Inclusion is one of our five Hallam Values, which you can read more about on Our Values page at shu.ac.uk/about-us/our-values. Our Diversity, Equality and Inclusion page at shu.ac.uk/about-us/our-values/equality-and-diversity also provides more detail on our proactive approach to ensuring inclusion for all. 

We were named University of the Year 2021 at the UK Social Mobility Awards in recognition of our work in advancing social mobility, such as improving access to higher education for all. You can read more about how we achieved this by clicking here. 

I'm sorry that you've found our library to be small. Both our libraries on City Campus and Collegiate Campus are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for maximum accessibility. 

You can find information on our library's range of resources and facilities, including booking and finding library spaces, on our page at libguides.shu.ac.uk/pages/24_hour_learning_spaces. You can also find guidance on making the most of our off-campus, online library services on this page libguides.shu.ac.uk/libraryoffcampus. 

Best wishes, Emily

Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Whilst we are delighted to hear that you're happy with the teaching, resources and support available from our teams, we are sorry to hear that you don't have much time to engage in activities outside of your studies. Please remember that help and support are available should you feel overwhelmed or are struggling with your workload - your dedicated student support adviser (for difficulties that affect your ability to study) and academic adviser (for support relating to your academic journey and performance) are both on hand to support and guide you throughout your studies, at the same time, our Student Wellbeing teams and Skills Centre provide a range of support and resources from 1-1 sessions (both online and in-person) to workshops and more.

With the support outlined above, we hope you will be able to make the most of our great city and the wonderful array of activities on offer from the Students' Union.

Take care and best wishes, Luke ✨

Hi, thank you for your review. I'm really pleased that you found our study spaces nice to work at and easily available for you to use. We appreciate your feedback!

We're proud to be able to offer 24/7 opening times 365 days a year at both City Campus and Collegiate Campus library learning spaces to allow for highly accessible independent study. We've carefully designed our learning spaces to cater for many different study methods, such as through offering collaborative, quiet and silent areas, as well as having a mix of bookable and non-bookable spaces.

Hi, thank you for leaving your review. I'm really happy to hear that you're pleased with Sheffield Hallam's service and found our admin to be efficient. We really appreciate your feedback. 

Best wishes, Emily

Hi, thanks for your review. As you mentioned, our City Campus is located slightly more centrally in the city than our Collegiate Campus. Whereas City Campus is within walking distance of Sheffield's city centre offerings, Collegiate Campus requires hopping on one of the regular buses for a ten minute ride into the city centre. Collegiate is also a short walk away from a fantastic range of independent shops, cafes and bars along Ecclesall Road. 

You can find out more about the different areas of Sheffield to explore on our Guide to Sheffield for Students page at shu.ac.uk/study-here/sheffield-guide. 

Happy browsing!

Thank you for leaving your review. I'm so sorry to hear that you're unsatisfied with our university's facilities. While we've worked hard to ensure that our facilities have remained available to students and staff where possible, we recognise that many of the facilities we usually offer have been affected by adjustments we've needed to make to abide by government guidelines surrounding the Covid pandemic, ensuring the safety of our students and staff. The latest updates on the accessibility and availability of our facilities can be found through the student portal, MyHallam.

We would love to hear any suggestions you have on ways of improving our facilities. If you'd like to share your ideas, you can do this by contacting the Hallam Help team at hallamhelp@shu.ac.uk.
