Postgraduate Open Days
We offer a variety of ways for prospective postgraduate students to visit us.
If you are considering studying for a Masters here at Sheffield, your best option is to attend one of our University-wide Postgraduate Open Days. We run two events per year in November and February. The next event will take place during the autumn semester 2010. The open day provides an excellent opportunity for you to find out more about the course you are interested in, relevant funding opportunities, how to apply, and to take a look at our excellent facilities for Masters students. You'll find an example programme at the bottom of this page.

Alternatively, if you want to find out about studying at MPhil/PhD level, or you have missed our University-wide Postgraduate Open Day for this year, please book onto one of our Postgraduate visit afternoons. These take place on the first Tuesday of every month. Read more about these events and book your place at the link below:
