Closing date for applications: Wednesday 19th February 2020

We use the academic and widening participation criteria in combination to select participants for the outreach programmes we run at the University of Sheffield. However, please note that meeting some, or all, of these criteria will not guarantee applicants a place on the taster day. Also, attending the taster day will not in itself guarantee a place to study at the University of Sheffield. The University may make an offer to candidates who have fully and successfully completed an outreach programme but gaining a place to study at the University will ultimately be subject to candidates satisfactorily meeting all offer conditions.

In common with other UK universities, The University of Sheffield charges different tuition fees for undergraduate programmes depending on whether students are classed as ‘Home’ (UK/EU) or ‘Overseas’ for fee purposes. Our outreach activities are designed for Home students, but we are able to accept Overseas students who meet our widening participation criteria. However, please be aware that if participants subsequently apply to study at the University there will be a formal fee status assessment, as for all applicants. If these applicants do not meet the criteria for Home fee status this would result in them being classed as an Overseas student and being charged the Overseas fee. Participation in our outreach schemes will not influence a future fee status assessment.'
