2. How you learn

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive distance learning environment in which you can thrive at your own pace.

Online distance learning at Sheffield Hallam provides you with a rich, connected learning experience.

You’ll receive virtual support and signposting during induction, so you’re ready to access our learning environment and meet your fellow students online from day one. Module leaders are available electronically if there are issues and will set tutorials across each module for support.
