Meet two winners of the Inspirational Student Award
As we celebrate all the winners of the Inspirational Student Award at our overseas partner institutions, we’d like to introduce you to Amira and Veronica, who’ve both won Student of the Year.

BA (Hons) / BA / Dip HE / Cert HE Interior Design, INTI Malaysia
Third year student Amira was nominated by her lecturer Mohd Sufi Ismail who says this about his Student of the Year,
“I had the pleasure of teaching her Graduation project class. From the first day of class, she impressed me with her ability to be articulate about difficult concepts and design vocabulary, her sensitivity to the issue in design, and her passion for reading, writing, and creative expression- both in and out of the classroom.
I am certain that Amira is going to continue to do great and creative things in her future. She is talented, caring, intuitive, dedicated, and focused in her pursuits. Amira consistently seeks out constructive feedback so she can improve her design & technical skills, which is a rare and impressive quality in a high school student. Amira is truly a stand-out individual who will impress everyone she meets.”
Amira says she feels honoured and excited, ” Now that I won, it feels like a noble price for me!”
Her advice to someone about to start the course is, “If you feel overwhelmed, don’t worry because everyone does. Most importantly, enjoy the course. If you have peculiar thoughts or idea, if you brace your inner passion and keep being curious, you will reach there. In the end of the road, you will see yourself missing those amazing moments of failure and success together with beautiful friendships along the journey.”

BA (Hons) Business Management, Botswana Accountancy College
Veronica is also in her final year, and has some wonderful quotes about her from her peers:
“Veronica is a highly determined student who has displayed leadership characteristics and is always keen on aiding her fellow peers.”
“Veronica is a well put together student, very hard working and determined. She was a class rep and still continued to display great leadership skills with pure diligence. She is an inspiration both to her classmates and outside. I strongly believe she deserves this award.”
Upon hearing she had won the award, Veronica says,
“I am inspired to do more and become more. To me it’s a sign that anything is possible if I put in the work. A sign that I can become a great leader if I keep learning, and possibly make an impact on my environment.”
Congratulations to Amira and Veronica, and all the nominees that have enriched the learning experience of their fellow students!

Read about Tony from SCOPE in Hong Kong’s time at Sheffield Hallam
Tony Wong is a student who studies Applied Social Sciences at SCOPE in Hong Kong, which is one of Sheffield Hallam’s partner institutions. Here, Tony tells GoGlobal about his semester at Hallam, here in Sheffield.
How has the scholarship benefited you?
Having the opportunity to spend a semester studying Postgraduate credits at SHU, I was able to choose modules that interested me in relation to my professional development. Firstly, I chose a psychology module, specifically social psychology, to develop my core knowledge. The other modules were fundamental statistics and qualitative research, which has developed my technical knowledge and understanding for my work in Hong Kong.
Lectures in the UK are different to Hong Kong, as there is a focus on discussion. Facilitators in the session help guide and support the group. Also, the University English Scheme has enabled me to focus on developing my speaking and reading skills.
What are your career aspirations for the future?
I have already applied to study a Masters in Social Work at City University (Hong Kong) to further my professional development. All the skills and knowledge I have learnt during my Postgraduate credits at SHU will help me. I have enjoyed meeting people and cherish the friendships I have made in Sheffield. This has given me a global perspective and opportunities to travel abroad to different countries.
Many thanks to Tony for sharing his experience of studying here in Sheffield, we hope he has enjoyed his semester abroad with us!
Nominate your peers for the Inspirational Student Award now!
The Inspirational Student Award nominations are now open, don’t miss your chance to nominate!
We’ve had some fantastic winners of this award over the year, and to get you inspired we have some words from past winner Karabo Phalane from the Botswana Accountancy College on how he got involved with his course:
I became the organiser and go-to guy, students could tell me if they were having trouble and I could relay those messages across. It built my leadership skills and I had to be very organised, including setting up a Whatsapp group for students.
I like to lead by example, asking questions first to guest lecturers and going on placements, showing ‘if he can do it, then so can we’.
Nominating another student is easy, and is a case of filling out this simple form.
Winners of the award will receive an award certificate and will be announced during their Graduation ceremony.
Congratulations to all of our graduating students at Botswana Accountancy College!
We are delighted to be able to congratulate all of our graduating students who have completed their courses at Botswana Accountancy College!
We were sent some fantastic pictures through of the day, which are below with who is involved:
We wish all of our new alumni the best of luck for the future, and hope you had a fantastic day at your Graduation!
International Experience Team’s Andrew Bromley recognised in Queen’s New Year’s Honours
We are very proud to be able to announce that Andrew Bromley from the International Experience Team at Sheffield Hallam University has been named in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list!
The New Year Honours is a part of the British honours system, with New Year’s Day, 1 January, being marked by naming new members of orders of chivalry and recipients of other official honours. A number of other Commonwealth realms also mark this day in this way.
Andrew Bromley has worked in the International Experience Team for ten years now, welcoming students to Sheffield Hallam and making them feel at home in Sheffield. He was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to higher education in recognition of his fantastic work building a sense of community on campus.
Andrew said about his award: “It was a huge surprise to receive this award, I am just doing a job I love every day and to be recognised in this way is incredible.”
From all of us in the International Experience Team, we’d like to congratulate Andrew on his very well deserved award!
Christmas closures and support
As you may know, Christmas and New Year are coming up, and this means that the University will be closed for a period for festive celebrations!
Sheffield Hallam University will close on Friday 22 December and re-open on Tuesday 2 January due to the festive period, meaning that the International Experience Team and Student Services Reception will also be closed.
Both Adsetts and the Collegiate libraries will still be open – as they are 365 days a year, 24/7 – but will have no helpdesk support available.
Christmas can be a lonely time, especially if your friends are travelling home, leaving you in Sheffield over the festive period. However, there is support available if you need it, and you can find all the useful contact details in the leaflet here – Happy Christmas 2017.
