Would you like to help new mature students settle into university life at SHU?

Our mature student buddying scheme aims to help new mature students settle into university life and make the most of their time here. The scheme matches new first year students with mature student ‘buddies’ so they can get support with the transition into student life at Sheffield Hallam.

“I have had my first meeting with my buddy. She was lovely.  Really helpful.  It was great to talk to someone in the same situation as me, i.e. the only mature student on the course.  We have arranged another meeting in a few weeks.” New Student.

The scheme is voluntary and designed to fit flexibly around your availability and preferences. Full training is provided and is compulsory for both new students and buddies. All new students and buddies who complete the programme will receive a certificate of achievement.

If you are a mature student and would like to find out more please follow this link.
