To find out more about studying History at Sheffield, and to give you a chance to get to know our staff and students, you are warmly invited to come to an open day. There are two kinds of open day: University open days that take place over the summer and post-offer History Department open days that take place in spring.
A general University open day lets you get a feel for what living and studying in Sheffield is like as well as giving you the chance to attend a History talk to find out more about our degrees. Our post-offer open days allow you find out more in-depth information about your chosen degree programme, experience a sample seminar and talk to current students and staff.
University Open DaysThese open days let you explore life at the University of Sheffield. You can learn about accommodation, finance, sports facilities and life at our award winning Students' Union. Our campus tours allow you to visit our library, sports centre and Students' Union, while our accommodation tours take you to the student village to get a feel for where you would be living. We would also recommend having a look around the city; the University is a 10 minute walk from the centre and forms a major part of the city's vibrant, friendly atmosphere. Our History talks give you the opportunity to find out about the History Department and our degree programmes and our Faculty Exhibition offers you the chance to informally chat to staff and current students. |
Post-Offer Open DaysIf you have already received an offer for one of our degrees then we encourage you to come to one of our post-offer open days. Here you can form a real impression of history study at Sheffield.
Our post-offer open day dates for this year are Wednesday 19 February, Wednesday 5 March, Saturday 22 March and Wednesday 2 April. We very much hope you can join us for one of them. |
Book Your Place at an Open Day
If you have received an offer we will send an email and letter inviting you to attend a post-offer open day and information on how to book your place. 
Please note that dual degree applicants will usually be invited to an open day in one department only, but will have the opportunity to meet with a tutor from their dual department as part of the day. You will be invited to a History open day if you are taking a dual degree with English, Politics, Philosophy or Sociology.
If you are holding an offer from us for BA/History or one of the above dual degrees you will usually get your invitation within a week of your offering being made.
