Sheffield Hallam Applicants 2012

Still waiting for a decision the wait is unbearable criminology and sociology .any one heard anything

Anyone applied for sport and exercise science and had a reply yet? Sent my UCAS in early November..

I applied for the straight sociology as the crim and socio had mainly criminology modules and I wanted a mixture of both. I haven't received a reply yet either although they sent me an email saying the had received my application.

do you have any idea how mechanical engineering is at sheffield hallam? is it easy? are the teachers good? how much work do you get?

I got rejected, and no reason given, slightly miffed but have mailed for an explanation... hope the other 4 don't go the same way..getting a bit jumpy now

well i'm not doing mechanical engineering so this is just my very loose opinion lol.

they do offer a lot of engineering degrees, so i do think that the courses are well provided for etc, my experience of the teachers is very mixed, they have a high proportion of non english lectures, which is not a problem but there are added issues, in that they've not been brought up with same curriculum as us, we are often getting told this is european way, this is british which is silly! thanks ha.

however i am at the moment having to do fundamental engineering principles, and the tutor i have for that is really good, he is fairly young, but so passionate and easy to listen and learn from. So i have some good and bad teachers, I don't know all the engineering staff unfortunately.

As for easy, i'm only on foundation level at moment, and it varies, some stuff is so basic and elementary and others just in the middle about as hard as i expected. So if that is any basis for the degree level, i'd say its not too hard. Very copable (word???)

Hope that helps somewhat, generally i think the courses on offer have a lot more variety than some better uni's, but the standard of teaching jury is still out.




Def givei them a ring and get an explanation, I was rejected for ridiculous reasons even for my foundation course, and after phoning sorted it out and got a conditional. The admissions are a bit unfair and clearly don't read your PS. Sure you'll get in somewhere

is it going to be the university you want to go to? your first choice, its called firm. lol

Hey, out of interest when did you send your ucas off and when did you get a reply? (for aerospace)

Thankz.

ohh yeah haha! which halls u thinking of?

lets hope if ur mate goes on the materials course he doesn't get my teacher, shes a newby, but thats not a problem so much as she is s**t lol.

I'm just on a foundation course so i wont be doing material science next year thank god or I'd consider transfering seriously.

ive already applied to victoria halls!
they are one of the cheapest and with the most facilities in any halls i could find..

hmm they look pretty nice, i really have no idea where to apply haha :L
well i a few but its hard to choose over having an en-suite but then less money to spend on other things or no en-suite and more money

They have emailed me back to say they have sent a letter.... have been offered an interview at East Anglia so happy now
