Sheffield City Centre - Sheffield
Hallam University
Sheffield Hallam University is now one
of the largest and most respected in the country. I attended
during the early 90s, and found the quality of its courses
and lecturers to be extremely good. In line with the universities
Polytechnic origins, the philosophy has always been to
develop students for the real world and for the demands
of industry. Most of the best academic staff had proved
themselves outside the protective confines of academia.
The city campus was just about to undergo
its rebirth as I was finishing my studies. Most of my
time was spent at the Psalter lane campus, which housed
the School of Art and Design.
Sheffield Hallam University is the cities second
university. In 1992, the year I began by undergraduate
studies there, Sheffield Polytechnic became Sheffield
Hallam University.
