Here’s which University of Sheffield courses have the most romantic energy

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and let’s be honest – some Sheffield Uni students just exude more main-character romance energy than others.

Whether it’s the longing glances across Western Bank, the poetic late-night conversations in the IC, or the sheer wattage of their brooding intellectual stares, certain degrees seem tailor-made for romance.

So, in the name of love (and absolute nonsense), we’ve decided to list the most romantic courses at the University of Sheffield based purely on vibes. No science. No logic. Just pure, chaotic romantic energy.

English literature: The walking love letters

Starting off strong, you’d imagine English students are effortlessly poetic, their minds shaped by a lifetime of delusional, lovey-dovey novels. Hopeless romantics at heart, they move through life as if they’re living in their own tragic love story.

You’ll find them with a battered copy of Pride and Prejudice in their tote bag, ready to quote poetry at a moment’s notice. They’ll write you a love letter so heart-wrenching it could make even the coldest soul weep, all while brooding over a black coffee and passionately debating whether Wuthering Heights is a love story or just deeply unhinged.

Philosophy: The existential soulmates

Philosophy students don’t do casual dating; they do deep connections. They’ll take you to their spot 2am, questioning the meaning of love while gazing at the stars. If they fall for you, they fall hard – just be prepared for long, emotional debates about ethics before they even hold your hand. 

Architecture: The ‘build a future together’ types

If an architecture student falls for you, expect a slow burn – it takes them seven years to finish their degree, so patience is key. But once they do, they’ll be sketching out dream house plans for you both by the third date.

They also have a certain artsy, effortlessly stylish vibe that makes them one of the most aesthetically pleasing romantic partners.

Music: The mixtape masterpieces

Dating a music student is like living in a never-ending indie film. They’ll make you playlists that perfectly capture your soul, teach you the meaning behind obscure jazz chords, and might even write a song about you (good or bad, depending on how things go). Their life revolves around gigs, so be prepared for many wholesome dates at Sidney and Matilda.

Medicine: The ‘slow burn but worth it’ lovers

Med students don’t have a lot of free time, but when they do, they love hard. They’ll be too exhausted for regular date nights, but their ability to take care of you when you’re sick is unmatched. Plus, there’s something inherently romantic about someone who dedicates their life to saving others—it’s like dating a real-life hero.

Law: The power couple in the making

Law students bring a different kind of romance – they’re all about passion, heated debates, and being busy all the time. If you can deal with the stress and intensity, you’ll get a partner who’s as sharp-witted as they are well-dressed. Plus, dating a future hot-shot lawyer has its perks – imagine the power couple energy.

Mechanical engineering: The practical romantics

They might not be writing sonnets about you, but they will fix anything broken in your house, which is arguably more useful. Mechanical Engineers are low-key romantics – the type to plan a detailed, well-organised date and always have a solid life plan. They might not be the most outwardly emotional, but their love language is acts of service.

Psychology: The ‘tell me about your childhood’ romantics

Psych students will understand your attachment style before you do. They’re deeply empathetic, great listeners, and will probably psychoanalyse all of your exes before making a move. If you date one, expect thoughtful gifts, emotional depth, and the occasional therapy-like conversation over a pint at the Grindstone.

Economics: The spreadsheet lovers

Economics students don’t scream romance, but they do scream long-term investment. If you’re looking for a partner who thinks about the future, knows how to budget a date night efficiently, and is slightly obsessed with graphs, this is your match. They may not be writing you love poems, but they’ll make sure your joint savings account is thriving.

Computer science: The hidden softies

Computer science students might seem more invested in their code than their love life, but deep down, they’re hopeless romantics. They’ll send you memes instead of love letters, but if they really like you, they’ll probably build you a whole app to track your dates. They may be shy, but they’re the type to fall in love once and for all – like a perfectly executed algorithm.
