Sheffield Hallam selection day Radiotherapy

Hi cat it’s my interview at sheffield this morning - any advice?! Thanks

Hi thank you. I was there 11-1ish. It was fine really relaxed and I actually enjoyed it. I got an offer today too so really pleased.

I have Birmingham in the 9th. It says there’s a written test - did you go there?

SHU is my first choice xx

Congratulations on your offer!!

I'm a third year English language student at SHU, so if you have any questions about the university or living in Sheffield please let me know

Thanks Ellie

Sorry I’ve only just seen this. What is the library like? x

No worries!

There are two libraries here, and I think you're more likely to be going to Collegiate campus. It's smaller than Adsetts (at city campus), but it has all the books you'll need in it. You can also request books to be sent between libraries, as well as books from the University of Sheffield if you need anything else.

There are plenty of computer spaces including a separate computer room at Collegiate, which is really useful - I've visited other unis where there are barely any computers! There are group booths that you can book online if you need to do group work, as well as quiet spaces and silent spaces. For me, going to the silent areas helps with my work so much. You can also loan out laptops from the library and around other places on campus, so you can work pretty much anywhere - different lockers have different amounts of loan time, but some are up to a day I believe. There are plenty of printers, and topping up your printing credit online is also really simple once you set it up.

You can get loads of books out at once, and they usually renew themselves for a while so if you need them for over a week you don't have to come back and check them out again. There are also loads of journals and books you can access online through the library gateway, making it easier to work from home, or not have to get up every time you want to read something new!

I hope this was helpful. We have a course open day next month if you want to come and have a look around for yourself!
