PhD in Politics and International Relations

Hello! I studied my BA and MA, and now my PhD in Sheffield (gosh, been here for 8 years already 🙈, time flies!). Why do I love Sheffield? It's my other home where I enjoy doing anything. It's hard to feel lonely here, as people here are warm and caring. There's also the Peak District yet to be fully explored! Tell me anything you want to know about. More than happy to share 😉

Siddharth

Kenya
BEng in Bioengineering

Hi! I totally remember what it was like in your position-being a prospective student coming to university was a mix of emotions of being nervous to being really excited! I had many questions on my mind but what really eased the transition was asking as many questions and also accepting the mixed feelings because this is where you are going to be living the next 3/4 (most amazing) years of your life! At the end of it all, you realize coming to Sheffield was the best decision you could make!

I am a first generation university graduate with firm belief of making it the top through world class university education. Being so far away from home as an international student was daunting at first, but the support from the University of Sheffield, friends, family and football helped me adapt quickly.
