Masters Student Web Chats 

We host masters web chats throughout the year. Participating in these web chats will give you the opportunity to talk directly with staff and current Masters students, and to get immediate answers to your questions. You will find transcripts of previous web chats available to download on the right.

The dates of our upcoming web chats and the themes that we will be focusing on are as follows:

Further dates for web chats will be announced in due course.

Please note that we will not be able to discuss specific details about your application as there will be other applicants participating at the same time, but you will be invited to follow up any specific queries with us directly.

How to participate

1. Click the appropriate "join this web chat" link.
2. If this is your first time joining a web chat, please create a new user account. You can use any name you like but please do ensure that your name is not offensive to other webchat users. If you have participated in a webchat previously, you can use your existing username and password.
3. When the webchat is about to take place, or has already started, login with your username and password. After you have typed your username and password, select the chatroom you want to join and hit 'Login'. 
4. After you've logged in you will see your own name on the right hand side of the screen as well as the usernames of other chatroom users. You can contribute to the general discussion that takes place on the main screen, join another chatroom (by clicking the dropdown box at the top of the screen), or speak to someone privately by left-clicking their name and inviting them for a private chat.
5. Please note that the chatroom can be busy at times and it is not always possible to deal with every user individually or answer every single query. If your query has not been covered during our webchat please do contact us by email at geo-apply@sheffield.ac.uk.
