Sheffield’s Universities
The heart of the UK
Sheffield universities are just a part of what makes Sheffield a really popular choice for international students.
At the heart of the UK, Sheffield brings a unique mix of vibrant city life, green spaces and friendly diversity. Its sports and culture are world renowned and the local scenery is second to none.
Together, the red brick university and Sheffield Hallam University offer students a learning experience like no other.
I want to chat about the reasons that say Sheffield really is a fantastic city and the universities make a big part of these reasons!
Its world class universities
Built around its world beating universities, those that come to study at Sheffield often stay for good. The University of Sheffield is a world top 100 university and a member of the prestigious Russell Group.
Sheffield Hallam University was awarded the University of the Year for Teaching Quality in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide in 2020.
Between them, they offer a diverse range of courses with excellent graduation rates, inbuilt work experience and partnerships with leading organisations. Bursaries and financial support are also available to international students, so whatever your aspirations and needs, Sheffield can help you excel.
Better yet, each campus offers hi-tech, hi-spec facilities, meaning you’ll learn in cutting-edge environments with industry-leading tutors. Then after a day of learning, unwind and re-energise at your pick of university leisure and social centres, designed to help you make the most of university life.
The city is diverse, affordable and safe
Attracting students from 150 countries around the world, Sheffield is proud of its diverse community. You won’t need to go far to find international shops, social groups and even friends. And, with its welcoming community, you’ll feel right at home right away.
Global cuisine is no exception. Sheffield offers a mouth-watering mix of restaurants serving food from all around the world. As well as food markets like Ozmen International and Moor Market where you’ll find every ingredient you’d ever need.
What’s more, Sheffield is the safest large city in the UK. It’s also one of the top 10 most affordable UK university cities, well below the national average.
Thanks to its student community, you’ll find discounts around every corner. So not only can you explore the city with confidence, but your money will let you go further and do more too.
Sheffield’s green spaces!!
Sheffield is known as the ‘Green City’. With two million trees and 250 parks and green spaces, it’s one of the greenest cities in Europe.
From Weston Park’s prime picnic spots to the green lawns of Endcliffe Park, Sheffield offers plenty of space to stroll, cycle, run or just relax. Seek secluded spots among the tropical plants at the Botanical Gardens. Or, if cycling’s your thing, take to the trails at Lady Canning’s Plantation or the wild corridors of the River Valley routes.
Better still, the nearby Peak District has plenty to offer when it comes to outdoor pursuits. From trails and routes for hiking to mountain biking, caving and rock climbing, it’s the perfect place for all the adrenaline junkies out there.
The only question: where to explore first?
It has a vibrant city centre and social scene
Sheffield is the fifth biggest city in England.
This means, wherever you’re living and whatever you want to do, there’s something for everyone in its urban neighbourhoods.
Of course in Sheffield’s cultural district, you’ll find theatres, cinemas and art galleries galore. There are often discounted tickets for students and many of the galleries and museums are free to enter.
West Street and Division Street offer vintage clothing, quirky shops and a vibrant mix of restaurants, pubs and bars.
And, on the city’s edge, the award-winning industrial quarter is home to some of the city’s best bars, bakeries, night markets and food halls, plus traditional pubs and the amazing industrial museum.
Not just universities
Sheffield universities are just a part of what make up this amazing city.
Sheffield is nestled in the heart of the UK with other big cities and everything else in easy reach. Close by are the rolling hills of The Pennines, the traditional villages of the Yorkshire Dales, the magnificent Lake District and the rustic charm of the seafaring coast with its pristine Blue Flag beaches.
Sheffield also has a range of easily accessible and affordable transport links. So whether you want to find yourself in the Scottish Highlands or get lost down London’s backstreets, you’re never more than a short ride from home.
But it’s not just an ideal base for exploring the UK. It also gives you access to the whole of Europe too.
Pretty good, hey?
