Year One Online Guide 13-14
Information for new undergraduates
Welcome to The University of Sheffield and the 1st year of your degree programme.
We do hope that you enjoy your time with us and want to make sure that you are well informed and sure of your options, obligations and choices while you are with us.
This website is a comprehensive guide to everything you will need to know throughout your first year. However, we always encourage you to contact your year tutors, your personal tutors or any one of our academic or secretarial support staff if you need some extra guidance or support. We are all here for you, to help make your academic journey as smooth as possible.
Thanks
The 1st year team,
Susan Cartwright, Pieter Kok and Tracy Hilton
Semesters
The Academic year is divided into two 15 week semesters, each composed of 12 weeks of teaching, followed by 3 weeks of examinations on the completed units. There is an autumn and a spring semester, separated by the Christmas holiday. Semester one has a reading week in November and semester two is split by the Easter holiday, during which there are no lectures and you have the opportunity to revise and catch up on the lectures.
