The support has been amazing, the staff are brilliant here

What made you want to study your course?
I was always a top achieving maths student (UKMT Top 600 in my year), and felt that doing it at university would be a great way to continue that on. I also really enjoyed maths at A level, and felt the career prospects were good for it.
What have you enjoyed most about your course so far?
The topics we’ve done in pure mathematics I’ve found really interesting and stimulating. That, along with the other opportunities in social and sport aspects of the university have been amazing. It’s all very interesting and enjoyable.
What skills have you developed during your course?
Independent learning and motivation, plus a lot of communication skills. The support has been amazing as well, the staff are brilliant here.
What would you say to a student thinking about studying your course at Sheffield?
To go for it. It’s the best decision I’ve made. The friends I’ve made on my course and through sport (American football) are friends that will be at my wedding and in my life for the rest of my life. It’s an amazing place with amazing people.
