This city is a wonderful place.

What made you choose to study at Sheffield and your course?

I chose to study at the University because of its location, it also has a friendly atmosphere which is great for international students and an active music scene. In addition, the Music Department provided theoretical and practical modules in music management. There aren’t many universities which provide such a creative Master’s with both theory and live projects in music management. I am very keen to gain a wider insight and learn about the strategies of music management.

What was your initial impression of Sheffield and the University when you first arrived?

I didn’t imagine that there would be hills in Sheffield or lots of Chinese students in the University. However, my Chinese friends have helped me adapt to the new environment, and the location of the management building on a hill keeps me fit. 

What are the highlights of your experience in Sheffield so far?

As a Music Management student, I’ve met friends from all different backgrounds. Since we majored in different subjects in our undergraduate degrees, we always share our opinions after class.
