It is a very friendly accommodation. This accommodation has a very good location, which makes it very convenient to go to the university, go shopping in the city center, and eat out on West Street. The staff are very nice; they organise a lot of fun social activities and help me in my daily life. This helped me to adapt easily when I first arrived in the UK. The flat is also well equipped, with the fitness facility and activity room being common areas I frequented in my free time. read more

It’s a great course and everything was over my expectations the teaching environment is friendly and very inclusive allowing us to explore our own areas of interest. Atmosphere of studios are supportive and reviews are very helpful and less intimidating. Course is structure to interlink and that helped aid more understanding of connections between modules but this could cause confusion at start. Paternoster is a little slow and the only two lifts are always packed so that’s a drawback:( read more

Amazing course, but definitly moments of intensity, stress as it is a dual course! As a first year student, I'm still getting used to not seeing the two as separate courses, but as one. And the tutors really encourage that! Definitly becoming more and more passionate and inspired because of the tutors and their teaching qualities, but most of it has to come from yourself as they are there to guide you and not spoon feed you (which is something to get used to as you enter university). Love each projects so far and can become really attached and passionate about each one! Definitely value for money! The amount of time you spend in the arts tower, at home, working and working aswell as learning and the contact hours are definitly one of the highest! Course is definitly not for everyone, and in fact going into a singular course has benefits too, as you're so much more focused and can produce higher quality projects, but similarly if you want a greater challenge. This is the one! read more

urban planning is a great course to do at the university of sheffield. It has a variety of lectures, workshops and seminars so you are always learning something different. There is great support in first year with how to write and structure essays, referencing and how to avoid plagiarism. the course has a nice number of people so its not massive, but big enough that you have lots of people to talk too.
