Sheffield Hallam University

At Sheffield Hallam, we offer more than 200 postgraduate courses which all focus on developing the specialist knowledge you need to excel in your chosen career.

Our network is your network

We work with thousands of organisations, from HSBC to the NHS, and these industry partners help design our courses and give you the experience and contacts you need to make your CV stand out to future employers. Many of our courses are accredited by professional associations and bodies.

Outstanding facilities

Our students benefit from access to our world-class facilities. We’re constantly updating and adding to the facilities you’ll use, with £72 million invested in new buildings since 2014. This means 24-hour libraries, student-designed study areas, excellent sports facilities and the same equipment you’ll find in your future workplace, whether it’s an aeroplane manufacturer, a software engineering company or a hospital.

Research that changes lives

72% of our research is rated internationally excellent or world leading. Read more about the REF case studies which helped us to earn this prestigious rating.

Five star rating

Our distinctive approach to teaching mixes lectures and seminars with workshops, placements and real-world projects — so you graduate with the skills and experience employers want.

We were The Times and The Sunday Times University of the Year for Teaching Quality in 2020, which recognised our consistently high student satisfaction scores, as measured by the independent National Student Survey (NSS).

A vibrant city with a low cost of living

Sheffield is a welcoming, multicultural city with a rich and proud history. It is a safe, friendly and affordable place to live, which is why it is the study destination of choice for more than 60,000 students. The city also offers the best of both worlds, with all the amenities, culture and entertainment of a big city and the peaceful, green spaces of the countryside.
