The Sheffield College is made up of four different colleges that are all based in the city of Sheffield. It has strong links to institutions around the world and each year students from over 80 different countries choose to study there. The college puts a strong emphasis on the level of support it is able to offer its students, both in class and out of it. The tutors make every effort to really get to know each student and off them any individual support they need. One such example of this is the fact that even before you arrive, the International Office arranges homestay accommodation for you, which gives you the opportunity to learn more about the British way of life and practice your English.
The college offers a wide range of both full and part-time courses from entry level right up to foundation degree. What's more through partnerships with local universities, you can add an extra year to your course to gain a full undergraduate degree.

However, an added bonus is the presence of Europe's most visited national park just outside the city.
