Ohh great

What is it like? I visited briefly Sheffield and I really liked it, but how is it as a city university? I also had the students union was great! And do you know anything about the structural engineering and architecture course? :smile:

Thanks !!

I study architecture but have quite a few friends who are on the architecture and structural engineering course, so I can potentially help you out there! - feel free to pm me :smile:

I'm definitely considering applying for English Lit at Sheffield... I like the sound of the choice in modules, and I love the city itself.

Hi, I've applied for architecture (K100) at Sheffield and will be submitting my portfolio in the next few days. What do you think of the university, dept and course so far ?

Where are you staying, is the journey to and from the dept ok, especially since you probably can't take much work home and have to work late (I've heard) to deal with the volume of work for architecture.
many thanks

I'm applying for Law with European and International Law because the course and other law opportunities are literally perfect for me :smile:

I've visited it up north a few times, the city is lovely and green and the university is a mix of older and modern buildings with a great union, accommodation and library :smile:

Do you guys think people should use league tables highly when considering choices or go by preference?

I've already applied to Sheffield for the Speech Sciences MMedSci and I'm from Sheffield as well, in my opinion it's a really lovely place to live and the University looks so good as well! :smile:

I applied to Sheffield last Monday and got an email today saying they want an informal interview at an open day :biggrin:

. According to my teacher it says i pretty much have an offer but I could get a better one if I go and they like me (so of course i'm going).

Has anyone else gotten one of these/been to one? If so what do they ask you? Also I've applied for 4 years masters course in computer science!

Hi, I applied for Physics about a month ago and got an offer/invite to a visit day a couple of weeks ago :smile:

They haven't given the offer conditions yet, apparently I'll be told them at the start of the visit day in December. I've applied for deferred (2016) entry but I might ask to change to 2015 entry depending on what other offers I get.
I've never actually been to Sheffield, what's the city like? Are there many art galleries, museums and things like that to visit?

Congratulations on your offer!

There are looooads are art galleries and museums in Sheffield! As well as Museums Sheffield (made up of Weston Park Museum, Graves Gallery and the Millennium Gallery in the Winter Gardens) which have an amazing range of exhibitions and events (encompassing art, history, science and literature) there's larger galleries (Site Gallery, Bank Street Arts, Yorkshire Artspace, S1 Artspace, Bloc Projects), little independent galleries (B&B Gallery, 99 Mary Street, Cupola Gallery, Pete McKee's 'A Month of Sundays') and multi-use spaces like CADS which host all sorts of weird and wonderful things. If you're into history (or even if you're not), there's also the Kelham Island Industrial Museum, which is all about Sheffield's steel heritage and encompasses a recreated industrial street, complete with functioning shops. If you're into the theatre, we also have the highest concentration of theatres in any UK space outside London (Tudor Square).

If you'd like any more Sheffield tips, just drop me a message.
