In addition to the core modules, social and cultural activities are available to help you adjust to studying at Sheffield Hallam and living in the UK. Activities include visits and events organised by our International Experience Team, the opportunity to participate in our mentoring support scheme, career talks, and subject-specific peer study group meetings.
