Hello brothers and Sisters,
I'm planning to enroll with the SHU to do a software engineering degree this september.
Is there anyone who are already studying in SHU?
or
planning to join this year?

Thanks

Lectures were good but I doubt you'll get the same lecturers.

there are part time jobs but if you are looking for employment after studies then you're only choice is to obtain a work permit, which is pretty hard because you have to find a job while you're on student visas. Did SLIIT tell you guys that the Home Office removed the 2 Years working visa which they used to issue after completing a degree, Msc or Phd?

Not sure about the course fees, but for accommodation + living expenses I'd say 250 - 300 pounds per month but it would be more than that if you choose university accommodation.

from 2011 onwards 2 year work permits are cancelled
as soon as completed the degree you have come back or have to do Msc and extend the student visa

Yeah i heard that they've cancelled the PSW visa.
What kind of part time jobs did you do in sheffield bro?
Are there cash in hand jobs?
