Structural Engineering MSc
Nurkhan tells us how he found studying in Sheffield.

"I chose the University of Sheffield because it has a great reputation for structural engineering, recognised not only in the UK, but worldwide.

Having spent a year in Sheffield, I realise how valuable my experience was for my personal and professional development. 

Due to a great number of facilities the university possesses and how well thought-out and convenient they are, I was able to concentrate purely on my studies without worrying about technical difficulties. Moreover, the majority of academic staff are highly recognised professionals in their research areas, so they tend to give more in-depth information, interesting case studies or recent developments in their lectures. Therefore, when you graduate you leave with more skills than are covered in the course description. I am confident that the knowledge and skills I have gained from the university will make me a competitive employee in any engineering company."
