The initial offer includes five MBA degrees, with specialisms in Healthcare Management, Project Management, Finance, and HR Management. It also includes five MSc Computer Science courses, with focuses on AI, Data Analytics, Cyber Security, and Software Engineering. Further accredited programmes in nursing, public health and psychology are also in development.   

Courses are delivered entirely online, so students can study part-time from anywhere, fitting studies around full-time work and family commitments. Cohorts start six times a year, so people can begin their studies within weeks and outside the traditional academic year.  

Learners will benefit from Sheffield Hallam’s exceptional teaching, awarded ‘Gold’ in the recent 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework. Each course provides a wide variety of specialist resources for students to engage with individually and in collaboration, learning from real-life examples how to apply their knowledge in their chosen profession.  

While courses are 100% online, participants will also benefit from wrap-around support and opportunities that all students at Sheffield Hallam receive. This includes access to career and specialist support, peer-to-peer support, and being invited to a celebratory graduation ceremony to mark their academic achievements.  

Professor Conor Moss, Dean, College of Business, Technology and Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, said: “We’re excited to be launching our online offer, opening up our award-winning teaching to new people for those that want to upskill and advance their career.  

“These types of courses offer maximum flexibility through 100% online learning, which can be ideal for those who want to upskill while juggling other commitments. They provide a great and affordable route for people wanting to further their career prospects or develop new skills with Sheffield Hallam.”
