The experience I’ve had when being in uni has been really positive. Being able to engage in discussions and see tutors face to face is needed. The library is open 24 hours a day and there is always availability for you to go and do work

At 2 months into my degree, I am unfortunately yet to have stepped foot on campus at Hallam. And although I’m sure the facilities are just as refreshing as they were when I looked round over a year ago, it would be unfair to give a fair opinion seeing as I have yet to experience uni at its fullest. The same goes for the union, clubs.

During the coronavirus pandemic SHU have still been very active to ensure students are working and learning. The only issue is that face to face sessions are not happening , which they are allowed even with the current lockdown restrictions. If they implemented this I would rate them higher.

Really good course options with placements to help find work after university."
Hello! Im really glad to hear the positive comments about our course options and opportunities to go on placements whilst studying with us. At every level of study our focus on applied learning gives our students the skills and knowledge employers want. In our undergraduate courses we incorporate a work experience module each year – and if you do a placement year you get an applied professional diploma as well as your degree, so we feel that as you say the opportunities we provide are there to really boost our students to help them enter straight into the job market when they graduate.
Poor communication and quality of teaching throughout my final year studying computer networks, my project supervisor failed to reply to multiple emails asking for meetings to help with my project which were mandatory to complete the dissertation, he followed this with a 31 day personal holiday IN TERM TIME, on top of participating in 2 strikes, he continued to acknowledge the fact i emailed him but with no replies after chasing him up on it and because of his lack of guidance and support which every other supervisor gave their students i ended up failing my dissertation and going back to him for guidance on my resubmission he asked me to stop emailing him and email someone else as he wanted a summer holiday. I would recommend going elsewhere as their treatment for students are POOR
Hi, I am sorry for the delayed response and I am incredibly sorry to hear you have experienced this in your final year and that is affected your outlook of the university as a whole. If you haven't already, I advise you contact your course leader to lodge a formal complaint about this as I believe they would really appreciate your detailed feedback and can take any appropriate action. I hope you other aspects of student life at Hallam and good luck with whatever is next for you!- Ella
