What Our Graduates Say

Anna Downs, BA Economics and Sociology, Assistant Economist at the Home Office

"I really enjoyed my time at Sheffield University and can't think of anywhere I would have preferred to have studied. Sheffield is a very friendly, lively place with lots to do and a great student nightlife. My friends and I had fun balancing working hard and playing hard.

"My degree course was enjoyable, interesting and often challenging. I found the staff at Sheffield University to be approachable and helpful, and over the three years of study I developed my knowledge and skills dramatically.

"I was fortunate enough to be offered a place as an Assistant Economist for the Home Office on the 'fast track' scheme. I currently love my job and can honestly say that what I learnt in my degree is of practical use and a very good base on which I can build in future employment."

Amy Rodwell, BA Economics and Geography, Trainee Chartered Accountant at Smith & Williamson

"As a dual honours student I reaped the benefits of the excellent teaching in both departments. I particularly enjoyed the European modules in both subjects. If I had to make the decision again, I would do exactly the same degree.

"Since leaving the University and moving to London I miss Sheffield a lot. As a student city it has so much character and a completely different type of energy to London. I cannot wait to go back to visit friends soon."
