Year 1 timetable

Your Level 1 timetable can be found using the iSheffield app or by logging into MUSE and selecting myTimetable. Timetables will be available from 1 September but are subject to change until Week 1.

As we aim to provide students with a wide variety of modules it may be that this results in some timetable clashes. While every effort is made to avoid clashes, it is sometimes inevitable due to the wide range of modules available. Therefore if you discover a clash in your timetable you are expected to take appropriate measures to manage this, which may include swapping the clashing module. If you wish to change any module choices you should do this via the Module Add/Drop system.  

Please note that we will monitor your engagement with your course.

You need to check locations of the lecture theatres in advance to make sure you are not late for your lectures and laboratories.

Top tip: If you are having issues with viewing your timetable, you should first try uninstalling and reinstalling the iSheffield app. If you are still having issues, contact the Student Support Team.

Your academic tutor has a pastoral role and acts as your tutor for the whole of your time at University. 

They should be informed of any problems or difficulties you may be having, including health, disability, domestic, and personal problems which may affect your performance on the course or in your exams. Your Personal Tutor will also be able to provide references for you upon graduation.

Regular meetings with your Academic Tutor will be timetabled to take place every week during semester. Each tutorial group consists of a group of 6-7 students.

Faculty Global Engineering Challenge

In this week long project scheduled in the second week of the Autumn Semester Exam Period, all first year students in the Faculty of Engineering tackle real world problems from a global perspective. You will be challenged to think about not only the technical issues in engineering developments, but also the social, ethical, and environmental implications of your decisions. This is the kind of thinking that will equip you for a career with impact - shaping and improving the world we live in. And in an increasingly international industry you will be the kind of engineer that employers value highly.

Working in teams, you will find solutions to a real life engineering problems faced by developing communities. At the end of the challenge you will present your ideas, showing you have considered the social, environmental, and economic impacts. You could find yourself researching alternative fuel sources for a small community in India, or designing new water and sanitation systems. The project is based on the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a national competition for engineering undergraduates.

IMPORTANT: You are required to pass the Faculty Global Engineering Challenge in order to progress to Year 3 of your degree. If you do not pass the challenge in Year 1, you will have to repeat it in Year 2.

Information on the Faculty Global Engineering Challenge timetable and venues will be communicated to you via email in due course.
