Hi, I was wondering where the lectures are for psychology and wether they are all in the psychology department building or not, if so is the walk from uni halls to the psychology department long since it’s more towards the centre?
Hi @Saltyflame,
The lectures for psychology are held in a variety of different buildings which is really nice as it helps you explore the different buildings the university has and makes every day a bit different. In my first year I had lectures in the Diamond, the Dainton building and Saint Georges Church. For each stream e.g. developmental psychology you will usually be in the same building for the semester which helped me to organise my time as I knew how long it would take me to get there. All of these buildings are very close together and are around the Student Union so they are really easy to find and are about a 20-25 minute walk from uni accommodation if you are staying in Ranmoor/Endcliffe. If you are staying in City accommodation it would only take you 5/10 minutes.
The main Psychology building is very near the centre of Sheffield and I would say is more of a 35 minute walk. However there is a bus stop that stops right across from the building. The bus (120) takes about 10 minutes - I tended to walk to the building and catch the bus back! The bus is a pound each way if you show your student ID so it can be helpful if you are short on time. The psychology building is not used for lectures, but it is used for Workshops and Tutorials. Normally you would have 1 tutorial and 1 workshop each week. So you would only be going to the centre two times a week not for every lecture. With Covid this might change but from my first year experiences this is what it was like.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!
