Sheffield Hallam University

Sheffield Hallam University is one of the UK's most progressive and innovative universities. Sheffield Hallam University traces its roots back to 1843, when the Sheffield School of Design was founded. It had a distinguished history as one of Britain's top schools of art and design for more than a century.
In 1905 the City of Sheffield Training College on Collegiate Crescent admitted its first 90 students. This teacher training college would also go on to become part of Sheffield Hallam University.
In 1969 the Sheffield School of Art and Design and the city's College of Technology merged to become Sheffield Polytechnic.
In 1976 the Polytechnic was renamed to Sheffield City Polytechnic, when it absorbed the city's two teacher training colleges. In 1992, the City Polytechnic earned the right to the title of University and the right to award its own degrees and became Sheffield Hallam University.

While on this website i came across the Interior Design degree, this is a full time program that last four years. I decided to look at this program because i like to experiment with textures, colours, patterns, use of light and shapes. This particular program appealed to me because i would be researching a learning about the history of interior design, and learn about people who are already in the field. I can't find how many ucas points i need to get on this program but i do know that the university will accept the extended diploma i will get at the end of the course I'm on now...

Sheffield Trip...

I went on a trip with college to Sheffield, while on the trip I went to Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery. While at this gallery there was a Abram Games exhibition. Afterwards we went to see a Paul Nash and Fay Goodwin exhibition at the Graves Gallery. We also went to The Millennium Gallery, to see the restless times exhibition, 1914-1945.

Above is a piece of Abram Games's work. It's called "Grow Your Own Food, and Supply Your Own Cookhouse". I like Abram's work becasue in most of his work he puts an image within an image, making it intresting to look at. I also like the fact tht he uses bold colours and shapes in most of his work...
