Facilities and support

Doctoral Research Centre

The Doctoral Research Centre underwent a full refurbishment in January 2019 to provide our PhD students with exceptionally high-quality spaces for working and socialising. A key aim of the improvement works was to encourage a strong sense of community among students. To meet these needs, flexible working spaces and shared study facilities were created and the building was also equipped with improved accessibility features.

The University Library

The University of Sheffield offers world-class library facilities, which for PhD students provides a source of both information and support. The library has three different sites, each of which offer unique working environments for both silent and group study.

Research Support

Located within the Management School, the Research Office provides tailored support for our students. A dedicated team are on hand throughout the working week to help advise you on all administrative aspects of your studies.

Futures First

Futures First is our employability offer to students. Our students can access career coaching, skills training, placements and special events. The Management School has its own Futures First Employability Hub which offers career development opportunities for our students. The Hub provides one-on-one advice and workshops, the chance to network with top graduate employers, and also advertises both student and graduate jobs.
