Students on Study Abroad

To those who have chosen Sheffield for a period of study abroad, welcome! 

By the time you arrive in our Department to read this, you will no doubt have been in regular contact with the Global Opportunities Office, and of course that office continues to be an important point of contact for you. But we would wish to do our part also to make your stay with us all it should be.       

While it is difficult for us to anticipate all your needs for information and support, we would encourage you to take your questions and concerns to the administrative support Hannah Thain (studentexperienceteamPHI@sheffield.ac.uk) or the Academic Coordinator Eric Olson (e.olson@sheffield.ac.uk).  He acts as Personal Tutor to Study Abroad students and, in addition to meeting these students at the regularly scheduled times each semester, has an “open door” policy at all times for our visitors. Since many of your concerns might be relative to a particular module, your lecturers will have office hours posted near the Departmental office for you to contact them. In addition, as you might well expect, an irreplaceable source of information will be other students.
