Our software engineering degree focuses on the art of engineering complex software systems. The course not only teaches you state-of-the-art software design and programming technologies, but also lets you practise your skills in project management, teamwork and working with customers - skills expected by employers.

Spend a year on a paid work placement as part of your degree. By combining a placement year with our MBiomedSci you’ll gain work experience in industry, and then have an extra year of research training back in the lab in your fourth year.

You'll have the chance to arrange a year in industry. This will put your academic studies into context, improve your skills and enhance your employment prospects. As well as being paid a salary during your placement, you will pay reduced tuition fees for that year.

You'll learn state-of-the-art software design and programming technologies, and also practise your skills in project management, teamwork and working with customers - skills expected by employers. You'll get a solid grounding in the fundamentals of computer science and the opportunity to explore aspects of artificial intelligence.

The combination of English and History uniquely positions you to be able to interrogate a variety of literary texts (including film, theatre, poetry and prose) and place them within their historical, social and political contexts. Both departments offer modules that explore literary and historical cultures from the medieval period up until the contemporary moment. This course is available with either an English Literature or an English Language pathway.

Gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle the big social science challenges facing society today including inequality, injustice and health. You'll learn how to undertake high-quality research, how to communicate results to different audiences and how it can be applied to make a difference to our lives.

If you want to study software engineering but don't meet our standard entry requirements, our foundation year could be for you. You'll learn the fundamentals of maths, physics and engineering in a variety of innovative ways to prepare you for your degree.

This dual honours English and music degree allows you to pursue your creative and critical passions across the arts. Through English, you’ll study literature, language, theatre, film, creative writing and more. In music, you'll be free to range across our seven subject areas: performance, composition, musicology, ethnomusicology, music psychology, musical industries and music technology.

If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you.

This is the most flexible of our MEng degrees. It covers fundamental engineering principles, while giving you the freedom to follow individual interests in your third and fourth years.

Study the research, design, development, construction and flight of aircraft. There are a range of courses available after the Foundation Year, including Aerospace Engineering with a Year in Industry and Aerospace Engineering with Private Pilot Instruction.

Learn about the fundamental concepts in mechatronic and robotic areas, including mathematics, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems.

Learn about the fundamental concepts in mechatronic and robotic areas, including mathematics, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems.

If history is the study of past societies, sociology considers the theory of modern society. The flexible structure of our degree programme means that you will choose from an extensive range of option modules that allow you to really focus on the aspects of history that interest you most.

Explore power systems, power electronics, digital electronics, circuits and devices, electrical machines and drives. Your study covers theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electronic and electrical engineering. Once you’ve successfully completed the foundation year, you can start your main degree.

A discipline focused on improving the way we live and with sustainability at its core, you'll study structures, water, geotechnics and environmental issues. Courses on offer in the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering include civil and structural, architectural and urban engineering.

Your study will cover theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electrical and electronic engineering. The core topics in this course include power systems, power electronics, digital electronics, circuits and devices, electrical machines and drives.

Explore the fundamental laws of the universe and learn about the development of pioneering technologies in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

English and Philosophy are mutually supportive subjects that provide distinct but corresponding methodologies for our understanding of the world. The joint study of English literary cultures (including theatre, film and creative writing) and Philosophy (including philosophy of language, ethics, metaphysics and logic) will throw you into some of the oldest debates around the very possibility of meaningful life.

Study in Sheffield for the first two years of your course where you will cover the theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electrical and electronic engineering. In your third year you have the opportunity to put into practice what you have learnt by working for a year in an engineering company before returning to Sheffield for your final year of study.
