Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR)

The University is committed to recognising the wide range of curricular and extra-curricular learning experiences that students gain during their time at Sheffield. It is therefore introducing a new kind of degree transcript that will be offered to all new undergraduate students from September 2012:

The Higher Education Achievement Report or ‘HEAR’.

This transcript has been developed over the past four years, through a national project involving other universities, employers and students.

You will be issued with your HEAR alongside your degree certificate.

As well as including your degree classification, an overview of your qualification and a list of your modules and grades, the HEAR will include more detailed information about your chosen course. It will also give details of non-academic achievements that the University or the Students’ Union can verify, to provide you with a broad picture of your university achievements. These might include additional modules you have taken (e.g. a language course), awards such as the Sheffield Graduate Award or Skills for Work Certificate, and other extra-curricular activities such as volunteering or mentoring.
