The general atmosphere in Sheffield is fantastic

Why did you want to come to the University of Sheffield to study your chosen degree?

The good reputation of the University of Sheffield as one of the top UK Universities was one of the main reasons I chose Sheffield. Sheffield is also located in the centre of England which gave me the chance to travel around England during the weekends. It also has a fantastic general atmosphere, it's a students' city so you will never feel that you are away from home. 

What were your favourite things about or best memories of the University of Sheffield?

The Students' Union is one of the best ever! There are a variety of activities offered where you can have a nice time and meet new friends.

I lived with a host family at first which was super great. The landlord was treating me like her son, she took me to church many times, even though I am Muslim, just to meet local people and know more about the British culture. This helped me a lot to improve my English and overcome the homesickness as well.

One of my favourite restaurants is placed in Sheffield, there are Halal restaurants everywhere so you never need to worry about that. Aldeifa is one to visit! .

Please explain how has your qualification and/or time at Sheffield helped you in your career?

I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2019. When I started looking for jobs it was really beneficial to employers that I had a degree from a university with an excellent, global reputation. Luckily for me, I got the job from my first application!

What has been your greatest achievement to date?

For me, finishing my two Masters degrees in the same year, 2019.
