I have lived in other places in the UK and Sheffield is definitely my favourite. I felt comfortable in this city right from the start, it is very easy to find your way around it and most places are within walking distance from the University. The University offers a lot of support for foreign students. For example, drop-in study sessions and referencing guides give advice on how to write an essay, this will make it much easier for you to understand what is expected of you. My course exceeded my expectations, the tutors are very professional and I find the modules very interesting and enjoy learning about the different aspects of human resource management. I have a genuine interest in HR and the course overall feels very stimulating. This year the University arranged a challenging and interesting work placement for me. I am currently recruiting engineering students for a graduate scheme. As part of this I will screen CVs, conduct telephone interviews and help to prepare and run an assessment centre. In the UK it is very difficult to pursue a career in HR without a CIPD qualification. I therefore decided to choose this course at Sheffield Hallam University because it also leads to a CIPD qualification which is recognised in Germany, my home country.” Sheffield Hallam University Howard Street, Sheffield South Yorkshire, S1 1WB, UK 0044-114-225-3880 international@shu.ac.uk www.shu.ac.uk/ad/EU08 itchy feet Nr.6, Ausgabe 2009 |
