VICE-CHANCELLOR

Universities change lives.

I know this from my own experience.

I

was the first person in my family to stay at school beyond the age of fifteen, and the first person in my family to go to university. The life I have had, and the choices which I’ve been able to make were opened up to me by that decision to go to university.

PROSPECTUS 2020 2020 PROSPECTUS 2020 PROSPECTUS

Sheffield Hallam University is a remarkable place.

I came to work here because of what I saw the university doing: outstanding teaching, exceptional student support, fabulous facilities, and cutting edge applied research.

These are the things which help us make a profound difference for our students. On top of this there are mind-opening development opportunities, a strong community focus and a host of sporting and cultural provision, all located in a vibrant and lively city. This is a fabulous university in which to study and to learn.

4 4

Choosing a university is an important decision. There is so much variety, and so many things to take into account.

@Hallam_VC

I hope this prospectus gives you the information you need to help you make your choices. I hope, also, that it gives you a flavour of what studying at Sheffield Hallam will be like and what it can do for you.

But please don’t just read the prospectus. Use all the other resources which are available to you – your teachers, our website, social media. Best of all, talk to us, and in particular, come and visit us. Come to an open day, see what we have to offer, and ask questions.

I can still remember how overwhelmed I was with the information I read, and the choices open to me when I was applying to university (though it is longer ago than I care to say!) Going to university made a huge difference to my life – and I cannot now imagine a different set of choices. It’s important that you make the right decision for you, and that you use all the help available as you make your choices.

I hope you’ll choose to come to Sheffield Hallam, because I know what a difference we can and do make.

Professor Sir Chris Husbands is an internationally renowned expert in education policy and practice. He was awarded a knighthood for services to higher education in the 2018 Queen’s Birthday Honours.

Introduction

7

Get to know the university

We want to be the world’s leading applied university. That means we believe in combining learning with doing — and you’ll experience that from the moment you join us.

PROSPECTUS 2020 2020 PROSPECTUS 2020 PROSPECTUS

WAYS WE BOOST YOUR CAREER PROSPECTS 1. In every year of your course, you’ll take a work experience module giving you practical skills to take into your future career.

2. You’ll have the chance to take a year’s work placement, putting your learning into practice in a real job. On some courses, such as those in health and social care or teacher education, several placements are integrated throughout the course.

3. If you complete a placement year you’ll receive an applied professional diploma in addition to your degree, helping you stand out to future employers.

8

4. Our courses are designed with employers, so you graduate with the skills you need to start your career.

What is applied learning?

Applied learning gives you the best of both worlds. You’ll learn through reading, lectures and seminars; but you’ll also put that learning into practice through workshops, placements and real-world projects. And as you’ll see on the coming pages, some of those projects could give you experience with big global brands.

What form does it take?

Every industry is different, and so applied learning varies from course to course.

On our healthcare and teacher education courses you'll practice interacting with patients or delivering lessons, and go out on placement in a variety of settings.

On design courses, you’ll work on real briefs and create real products — our games design students have made titles for commercial release through PlayStation® Store.

Previous engineering students have taken industrial placements at companies such as McLaren Racing, Rolls-Royce, EDF Energy, and Airbus UK. They also tackled real-world issues through the Engineers without Borders’ Engineering for People Design Challenge. Our business students go on placements with global organisations such as Walt Disney World, Lloyds Banking Group and PwC.

Why does it matter?

We want you to leave Hallam hungry to get out there and do it.

Applied learning exposes you to current ideas and techniques, and connects your subject knowledge to key workplace skills such as communication, project management and collective decision making. So when you start work, you can dive in and make things happen.

THE HIGH-FLYING ENGINEER

PROSPECTUS 2020 2020 PROSPECTUS 2020 PROSPECTUS

What brought you to Hallam?

From a young age, I always enjoyed maths and science at school. Then I discovered engineering and fell in love. It’s all about applying the subjects I love to solve problems and create a better world. There were two main reasons I came to Sheffield. Firstly, Hallam has strong links with industry and really encourages work-based learning, like my year-long work placement. Secondly, I really like Sheffield as a city. Location is very important to me, and living in such a friendly and social city with good transport links has been great.

PROSPECTUS 2020

Jodie Howlett has been named one of Britain’s top 50 young female engineers, and is set to study at the International Space University after graduation

Tell us about your next move

10

I’m really excited about studying at the International Space University. It should be a fantastic experience and an opportunity to study a fascinating area of engineering, alongside students from different backgrounds and experiences. I’ll specialise in one particular area which I hope will be space engineering. I’ll be applying my learning through team projects and workshops, working with other students. I really can’t wait to get started!

How did your course help you get here?

I’ve been studying MEng Mechanical Engineering, and the course is a good mix of theory and practical learning.

And there are extracurricular projects to get involved in – I’ve helped to build a subsonic wind tunnel, for example. In my third year I worked at Rolls-Royce in Derby, helping to define concepts for future jet engines.

Working for a world-class company allowed me to gain skills that will stay with me for life. I’ve also gained several scholarships during my studies, and Hallam were great in supporting my applications.

Hands-on learning

Learning through simulation

If you prefer to learn by getting your hands on the latest equipment, trying out new concepts and working on real projects, this approach is for you.

Using new technologies and techniques, you can practise real workplace scenarios and gain a better insight into your future career.

‘My students have access to the University’s own game studio. They create games and then release them commercially.’

Dr Jacob Habgood, director of Steel Minions, our in-house game studio @jacobmph

‘Our nursing students learn how to care for different types of patients using mannequins. We use iPads to simulate a patient’s face, so students get a feel for what it’s like to talk to a variety of patients.’

Mandy Brailsford, lecturer in nursing @mandyshu

Real-world learning If you are eager to get started in your career outside the university, going out into the workplace can help you see how theory works in practice.

‘My students work with the police to go into schools and discuss issues such as cyberbullying, sexting and gang culture. Working with school children gives a valuable insight into the latest issues.’

Tanya Miles-Berry, lecturer in criminology @LawTop20

Group learning You might feel you thrive in a bigger group of students, absorbing knowledge through group sessions and bouncing different ideas and opinions off each other.

‘My methods help groups of students learn complex topics or subjects. I devise navigational tools, like the London Underground map, that connect different parts of a subject in a visual way.’

THE DIGITAL ENTREPRENEUR

PROSPECTUS 2020 2020 PROSPECTUS 2020 PROSPECTUS

What brought you to Hallam?

One of the reasons I was attracted to Hallam was because I’d met people studying on the business courses, and I could see how much they enjoyed it. Before that I had never thought of going to university. The business and enterprise management course taught me so many skills: financial management, HR, how to write a business plan, customer service skills. And a lot of the theory has helped with the practical element of running my business.

PROSPECTUS 2020

Harvey Morton launched an IT business at 15, and grew it into an award-winning digital agency with help from Hallam’s Enterprise Team

How did the Enterprise Team support you?

32

The support from the Enterprise Team was outstanding.

I’ve had access to an amazing team of mentors who have given me valuable advice and helped me to grow my business alongside my studies. It’s also been great to meet like-minded people at the University who are also self-employed. To anyone who is thinking of setting up a business whilst at Hallam, do it! The Enterprise Team will support you along the way and it’s a great way to make new friends.

Tell us about your award win.

I was named Young Freelancer of the Year by IPSE, the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed. It was a complete surprise when they announced that I was the winner. I still feel quite

overwhelmed. It’s a national title and I have had a lot of attention since and I’m not really used to anything on that scale. To be recognised nationally is huge, really.

any of our courses give you the chance to work on genuine business problems with major brands, or to hone your skills in national and global student contests.

Our product design students have devised shaving products for Gillette and rucksacks for Berghaus, and our food and nutrition students have worked with Asda to reduce sugar levels in its ownbrand products.

Not only do these projects look good on your CV, they also develop your project management, time management, communication and networking skills – exactly the sort of things employers are looking for.

Best of all, you get to demonstrate your talent to big names in the industry. In 2018, two of our fashion students won paid internships with Vivienne Westwood after wowing senior designers with their response to a brief.

Tell us about the group you set up.

It's called MINT – Men Into Nursing Together. Our tutors started it as a group for Hallam students, and I helped take on the leadership of it as one of the student members.

When we got on social media we started getting interest and support from beyond Hallam. So we're there for our students, but we're also part of a bigger conversation about male representation in nursing.

PROSPECTUS 2020

Nursing student Dave Gwinnell helped launch a nationwide support group for male nurses while at Hallam

How has it helped with your development?

46

Being in that conversation has got me thinking about all sorts of things: public perceptions of nursing, the resource pressures on the NHS, patient experience and preference. At the same time I've met new people in the nursing community. I've got relationships with students, educators and practitioners that I would never have had without MINT.

What's next for MINT?

We've done fundraising for a number of causes, and spoken at a couple of industry events too. We want to keep that momentum going, but stay grounded in the Hallam student community to offer support to those starting their careers. That's where MINT came from and I think it’s really important to keep a focus on universities.

ecause of the PS4TM facilities we have access to, I’ve worked on projects that reflect what I’d face in industry. I worked on a real commercial code base on PS4TM development kits as part of my dissertation, and helped to create and release a virtual reality shooter as part of my third year module work. All of that will significantly improve my employability upon graduating.

We get a lot of technical support from Sony and they come in and give feedback on our work, which is really helpful.

The best way to learn how to make games is to actually make them, so I’m learning a lot. In this industry employers want to know whether you’ve had your game released, and to have worked on something that’s on the PlayStation® Store is a big CV boost.

THE GLOBETROTTING VOLUNTEER

Politics student and aspiring lawyer Sherene Modi tells us about an eye-opening work placement in South Africa What did you do on your placement?

I was teaching at African Angels, an independent school in the Eastern Cape region. I read with the children, ran small group activities, and gave one-on-one attention in study tasks. The school is one of the best opportunities for education in the area. We visited the local government school one morning and it was a stark contrast, with just four teachers for 179 pupils.

How did it help with your personal and academic development?

The placement was eye-opening. It made me realise how much I take for granted, even small things like electric light or clean kitchen facilities. At the same time, it inspired me to help the children learn. I was able to implement ideas from my own schooling, and it felt great to be trusted. My confidence has definitely been boosted.

What’s next for you?

I’m now working as a paralegal in a law firm. I’ve always been interested in a career in law, and I’m pleased to have got the job I wanted so soon after graduation.

I feel like a politics degree was a great foundation for it.

The role will help me to decide whether the legal sector is the right path for me — at the moment, I am loving it and am learning so much.

HALLAM HELPED ME START MY OWN BUSINESS

sychology student Aimee Browes is the founder and CEO of Happiness Bootcamp, which uses fitness to improve people’s mental health.

Aimee started the business after suffering from anxiety herself, and deciding “enough was enough”.

‘Exercise has helped me massively. It was the best therapy I ever used,’ she says.

shu.ac.uk

‘I set up Happiness Bootcamp up to educate people on mental wellbeing. To me being successful isn’t making a million pounds, it is making a million people realise their life is worth living.

‘Through weekly Pop Pilates, workshops and training days we teach people how to cope with anxiety, stress, depression, eating disorders, body confidence and self-love, giving them the friendly environment and key scientific knowledge they need.

‘I found Hallam to be so supportive. They offered business support with the enterprise team, they helped me get volunteers on board, they helped me with getting yoga mats — really simple things that as a student you don’t have access to.

'It opened up so many opportunities, and gave me the confidence to know that I could be 19 and run a business.’

Happiness Bootcamp has been featured on BBC Radio 1 and in several national newspapers, and was among the five finalists of Student Start-up of the Year 2018.

But for Aimee, the biggest buzz comes from seeing the change in bootcamp participants.

‘What’s so rewarding is knowing that people who are coming along are in the situation that I was in before,” she says. “It’s lovely to see them leaving and feeling better about themselves.’

During induction week my course leader suggested talking to my academic adviser. They’re a personal contact who can help if you need to manage your attendance or deadlines, which is a really important relationship to have as a student athlete. If I know I’ll be away for a tournament I can get access to lecture materials earlier through the University’s Blackboard system, and my lecturers are really open and approachable, so I can go to them if I’ve missed something or don’t understand it.

How are you finding the sports facilities here?

The team has its own court at the English Institute of Sport (EIS) in Sheffield. Training in a facility like that really helps you prepare for tournaments. I also do extra strength and conditioning on campus – it’s great to be able to go between lectures when I can’t make gym times at EIS. In terms of wheelchair accessibility I’ve had no problem getting around, and I’ve never had to rush from one place to another for back-to-back lectures.

There’s always a lower desk for me in lab classes too, so it’s easy to carry out practicals.

What’s next for you?

We’ve got a European championship in summer which is a qualifier for Tokyo, and we want to get into the final and get silver or gold. Then we’ll be into preparation for the Tokyo Games. We’ve got a friendly tournament out there in August, which is kind of a test for 2020. So training will get a lot more intense in the coming months and years.

With support from Hallam and Team GB I’m confident I’ll be able to handle it.

At Hallam you’ll join a diverse and welcoming student community — and there are countless ways to get involved in it.

O

ur International Experience Team (IET) works closely with the Students’ Union to organise crosscultural events, but you’ll also find it easy to socialise and network through student societies, or simply through group projects on your course.

Third year film and media production student Summer Doan comes from Vietnam, and was mentored by a British second-year student through IET’s Culture Connect programme.

She also attended several of the GoGlobal programme’s trips and events. For her, one of the keys to making friends was the huge range of student societies on campus.

Taslima Akhtar, a second year adult nursing student from Sheffield, found her local knowledge opened up new friendships with both British and international students.

‘I joined the Theatre Society and the Film and Media Society, and I’m currently the president of the Vietnamese Society,’ she says.

‘I was able to integrate with other students by telling them all about the city,’ she says. Places to eat, places to go shopping and so on. I also found it easy to talk to international students because I was interested to know their experiences, as my parents are originally from Bangladesh.’

‘Although there are cultural differences within my friendship group, we still share the same interests. We cook traditional dishes for each other, go for picnics or travel to other cities together. My advice is don’t be shy, because everyone is feeling the same thing as you.’

What support did you get from Hallam?

In Syria I didn’t have assignments, I only had exams based on books. I didn’t know how to write an essay or a lab report.

I contacted my tutor and found out about the Skills Centre.

It’s for people who need English support sessions, maths support, referencing, all sorts of things. I attended academic writing sessions, which were really helpful.

How has your part-time work and volunteering helped you develop?

I’m an Arabic-English translator for the NHS. I work in hospitals, in surgeries, with midwives, with health visitors, with nurses, everything. And it’s a professional job, so it has also enhanced my CV. I got six work placements through interpreting too, so when I go to interviews I’ll have all these experiences to talk about. I also volunteer with the British Red Cross, both as a first aider and on ambulance crews.

I’m going for the Hallam Gold award, because it’s nice to be recognised for what you are doing, and to inspire others.

What was it like adjusting to life in Sheffield?

I do a radio show on the community station Link FM, and we talk about Sheffield a lot — about how welcoming the city is. People are really friendly. When you say something wrong no-one laughs. They correct you, they smile. That’s so important for someone coming from abroad. It’s really multicultural. My first show was with the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Magid Magid. We talked about immigration and how immigrants feel being in the UK. He’s the Lord Mayor of Sheffield and he’s a Somali refugee!

Your health and wellbeing

Support for disabilities

We have a medical centre on each campus, plus a range of services to help with wellbeing issues such as anxiety and loneliness.

There’s also specialised support for sexual violence, harassment and hate crime.

If you have a disability or longterm physical or mental health condition, you’ll have access to a full range of support. Some is available to everyone, and some is based on a needs assessment – which can lead to specific adjustments being made to help you live and study comfortably.

Academic and life skills

Whether you need specific support for a disability or you just can’t find where your next lecture is, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s some of the support we offer in seven key areas. See page 58 for more on how we help you prepare for your career.

The Skills Centre arranges group lessons, workshops and selfstudy resources to help you plug skills gaps and refine the skills you already have. If you want help with your maths, academic writing or English, this is the place to come.

Your money If you have any money problems, talk to us and we’ll sort it out.

We can provide emergency support, plus advice on how to budget. We can even help you find part-time work for some extra income. See page 96 for more information on financial support.

International experience We offer help with your application and visa in more than 40 countries. When you arrive in the UK you’ll get a free pick-up service from Manchester Airport, then throughout your time here you’ll have access to social events, trips, English language classes, and a dedicated support team.

Faith and spirituality Our Multifaith Chaplaincy offers confidential support for uncertainties, ethical dilemmas and life questions. Inside you’ll find religious information, quiet rooms and prayer spaces.

Specialist support We also offer a range of support for students with particular life circumstances, including carers, care leavers, mature students, and people who are estranged from their family.

THE LGBT+ LEADER

shu.ac.uk

Public relations and media student Luke Allan went from a nervous new arrival to an LGBT+ Student Representative and NUS delegate

PROSPECTUS 2020 2020 PROSPECTUS 2020 PROSPECTUS 94

How did you get involved in the LGBT+ community?

When I arrived for Welcome Week, I was nervous — but I attended an LGBT+ event and immediately felt part of the community. I soon became empowered to improve the experiences of others. As an LGBT+ Student Representative and NUS delegate, I’ve been involved with shaping policy at a regional and national level. Throughout, I’ve tried to ensure that current and future LGBT+ students would receive the best possible support!

What kind of support is available?

There is a fantastic LGBT+ liberation group and an elected officer within the Students’ Union, and they work closely with the University to develop policies, initiatives and events. There are also dedicated careers advisers who specialise in supporting LGBT+ students. The wellbeing service is great at offering counselling, and my lecturers were really supportive with any of the issues I was experiencing within but also outside of university.

WATCH LUKE’S STORY shu.ac.uk/luke

PROSPECTUS 2020

What brought you to Hallam?

Lots of my friends researched things like nightlife or alumni, but I had other priorities too. Things like how diverse the student community and the city is, how safe and welcomed I might feel, and whether the university and wider community is gay friendly.

I remember typing ‘LGBT Sheffield Hallam’ into Google and finding a huge amount of information.

After visiting an open day, I knew Sheffield Hallam was somewhere I could call home.

Check your application status on UCAS

Receive your offer

Choose your firm and insurance choices

Accept your offer and confirm your place

If you have conditional offers from more than one university you need to decide on a firm choice and an insurance choice.

It’s a big decision – if you can, visit all the universities you have offers from so you can get a feel for which choice is right for you.

You can confirm your choices on UCAS Track. If you accept an unconditional offer as your firm choice you won’t need to choose an insurance choice, as your place will be confirmed immediately.

If you meet the conditions of your offer, we’ll confirm your place on UCAS Track. If you don't get the results you were expecting we may still be able to accept you so check UCAS Track before you do anything else. If you’re from outside the UK, you may need to pay a deposit to confirm your place. You’ll then receive a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), which you will need to apply for a visa. If you find yourself without a place, or change your mind when you get your results, you can contact us to discuss your options. We’ll also have comprehensive clearing information online.

You can apply for our full-time undergraduate courses online through UCAS from midSeptember to the end of June.

Aim to submit your application by 15 January, as courses can be closed to applications after this date.

Some of our courses require you to submit a portfolio or attend a selection event or audition.

If you’re outside the UK, this might take place over Skype or in your country. We’ll send you information to help you prepare, including details of the date, time and location of selection and audition events.

You can check the progress of your application using UCAS Track. It’s the first place you’ll be able to see whether you’ve been accepted on the courses you’ve applied for, and you can also use it to reply to your offers. You can also set up email alerts, so Track can notify you when there’s an update on your application.

THERE’S MORE ONLINE Visit our How To Apply pages for advice from experts, videos on how to choose your course and university, tips for writing your personal statement, and much more. Go to shu.ac.uk/how-to-apply

We usually start to make offers from October onwards.

Offers are either conditional or unconditional. A conditional offer is usually dependent on your results, but might include other requirements such as professional skills tests or an English language assessment if English is not your first language. An unconditional offer means you have a place with no academic requirements − but you might still need to meet nonacademic conditions such as a DBS check.

SUPPORT FOR EU AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS If you need help with your application, you can contact our Sheffield and overseas offices, or apply through one of our registered recruitment agents. We also offer support with visa applications, travel planning, arrival in the UK, and ongoing welfare through our International Experience Team.

I don’t know what I’d be doing now if I hadn’t had that opportunity.’

‘It was perfect for me’

Jess Purdy took a foundation year in art and design, and is now studying BA (Honours) Games Design.

‘I decided to do a foundation year because I didn’t get the grades I’d hoped for. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to study games, but I got told about the foundation year and thought, ‘Awesome. There’s an art and design course that’ll help me go on and do what I want to do.’ It was perfect for me.

‘The benefit of a foundation year is that you learn about the university and find your way around.

You learn how everything works: how to submit assignments, what the teaching is like.

All the fundamentals that you need to move on to your degree.

‘Transitioning from foundation year to my degree was really easy. The course leader was easy to talk to, and if I had any questions I could just go to them and ask. Once I passed I had a lot of options to pick from, and I decided to go down the games design route.

eg Williamson works as a trainee business analyst at Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Trust while studying for a degree in IT Consultancy.

‘I wanted to complete a degree apprenticeship because I felt there was additional learning I wanted to undertake as part of my career development.

‘I started with a three-month bootcamp and since then I’ve been working while studying one day a week, with a one-week study block every ten weeks. Over four years it will really give me a chance to develop in my role, and it’s giving me time to integrate my learning.

‘It involves a lot of team working here in the university, and you do have to be prepared to work hard.

It’s a fantastic opportunity and I’m overwhelmed by the level of support, both in work and in uni.’

‘I’d done several courses in food safety, but that only gave a basic knowledge of the industry. Now I’m on the apprenticeship, the insight is much broader.

‘I go back to work with more energy and new ideas’

‘I attend university every other month for three to four-day modules.

It is a perfect way to work and study at the same time and gives you a chance to get away from everyday routine. I go back to work with more energy and new ideas to implement in the business.’

‘My degree involved one day of college per week – the rest of the time I worked independently.

• event management

‘The course provided the knowledge and practical ability that I need for working in the IT industry.

Now, I’m ready to talk with IT professionals and develop my skills. It’s been quite a journey’.

• facilities management • film and performance • food and nutrition • health and social care • real estate • sport • teaching and education • tourism and hospitality

THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT Adnan Hussain took an events and leisure management top-up degree here at Hallam.

‘I’m so glad I chose to do it at Hallam rather than college. I conquered my fear of going to university, and it was the best decision I ever made.

‘It’s different to studying at college – you meet new people and interact with the tutors, who are really responsive to emails and give you great advice.

The university teaching approach has allowed me to become more independent in my learning.

‘I would advise other students that are considering a top-up degree to make the most of it while you can.

Don’t be afraid – if you’re stuck, just ask for help.

It’s not embarrassing to ask – it will boost your knowledge and grade!’

A

top-up degree allows you to convert your existing qualifications into a full degree in one year. You can do a top-up degree here at Hallam or at one of our partner colleges, but you do need a relevant qualification such as an HND or foundation degree to get started.

‘I had been at college since I was fourteen, and going off to university seemed like a big jump. I found there was another route with a top-up at Sheffield Hallam, in partnership with my college. Hallam offered the top-up route I needed, and the particular course I was interested in.

If you have any queries, concerns or complaints relating to the processing of your application, please contact the Admissions Office, Directorate of Corporate Affairs, City Campus, Sheffield Hallam University, Howard Street, Sheffield S1 1WB.

Accuracy of information

We made every reasonable effort to ensure that the information in this prospectus was accurate at the time of going to press in January 2019. However, we regularly review our courses and associated support services and these may change from time to time. We strongly recommend you visit our website to check the current position on courses and services.

The role of the Students’ Union

The Students’ Union is the voice of students in the University, and students are represented at all levels up to the the Board of Governors.

Working in partnership with the University, the Students’ Union coordinates the highly effective Student Representation System by providing training and support to Course and Department Reps.

Within a few weeks of joining the University, you will be given the opportunity to become a Course Rep – representing the views of your coursemates to staff and shaping your course.

The Students’ Union also has an advice centre, which supports students with individual academic issues.

Students’ Union membership: Education Act 1994

Under the provisions of the Education Act 1994, any student has the right not to be a member of the Students’ Union and not to be unfairly disadvantaged with regard to the provision of services, or otherwise, by reason of having exercised that right.

At Sheffield Hallam University all students, members and nonmembers alike, have in general the right of access to services provided by the University and the Sheffield Hallam University Union of Students (also known as the Students' Union).

However, the right to participate in the Students' Union and NUS (National Union of Students) elections and decision-making processes, including those of clubs and societies, is not extended to non-members.

On the basis of the above arrangements, the University is satisfied that the range of services otherwise provided by the University and the Students' Union to students (whether members of the union or not) are sufficient to ensure that non-members are not unfairly disadvantaged within the meaning of the Act.

Fiona Hanlon studied media and now works as a producer on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw.

What’s your job at Radio 1?

I’m a producer on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. I go through social media to see what’s going on in the world and what we should talk about on the show, and I join in during the show.

What do you love most about your job?

I love making our listeners laugh and cheering them up.

When you get a message from a listener saying, ‘I was miserable, I’m hungover, I hated everything, and now you’ve made me laugh and I don’t mind going to work any more.’

That’s my favourite thing.

What sparked your passion for radio?

I worked in student radio the entire time I was studying.

It was so vital to getting to where I am now. I learned how to put together a schedule, a broadcast programme, and working with people who worked in radio who were really passionate. If I hadn’t done student radio, I would never have got my first job in radio.
