The University of Sheffield
Welcome to Sheffield

More ...


University education is about More than just attending lectures.

Employers want More than just a piece of paper. Sheffield is More than the campus. There is so much you can do to make the most of your time in Sheffield. From your very first day on campus there will be something for you. Through our ‘More …’ web pages you will find out about all the opportunities open to you. Whether you are into sport or outdoor pursuits, drama, music, IT or technology, the arts, conservation or the environment, helping others, looking for part-time jobs, vacation work, being creative or just not quite sure what you want yet, you’ll find something that you’ll enjoy using More ... whether it’s for an hour, a day, a week or longer.

Here is a just a sample of what’s on offer. Find out more at:

1. More ... student jobs and work experience

The Student Jobshop is located in the Union of Students in the centre of the campus. You can use it to help you find part-time paid jobs during the academic year, vacation work, summer internships and year-out placements (if immigration status allows).

2. More .... sport

We cater for all levels of interest in sports and fitness. Become a member of a gym, play sport with friends, enter a team into the popular Intra Mural leagues or represent the University at your chosen sport. Perhaps swim casually, take up indoor climbing, or join in the fitness classes on offer, from circuits to yoga.

3. More ... in your academic department

You can become the voice of the students by becoming a Course Representative. You could also represent a wider group of students by becoming a Faculty Representative.

4. More ... involvement with the Union of Students

Why not become a member of one of our committees? The Union has 13 committees and their members come together to act for, inform, and socialise with the students they represent - you! There’s a committee for everyone, whether you feel passionate about who you are or the rights of others.

5. More ... to help others

You can give something back to our local community and develop your personal skills and experience by getting involved with the successful and awardwinning ‘Sheffield Volunteering’. Or you could help others in the University by becoming a departmental academic mentor, giving support to students on your course.

6. More ... to use your creative skills and your interest in the arts

So many opportunities are on offer to get involved in activities where your creativity can be used to its full potential. Our Drama Studio, orchestras and choirs are just a few to mention here. There are also exciting activities to pursue with student newspapers and websites and The Student Connection.

7. More ... Why do More?

Organisations are always looking for that something extra when you leave University. Get involved now and have More to offer an employer later on.
You can develop your skills, interests and personality – come away with More than a piece of paper.
You will meet More people and learn More about other cultures, ways of living.
