Higher Education Convention Dates 2013

The University of Sheffield attends Higher Education Conventions across the UK. These events give Year 12 students (or college equivalent) the opportunity to find out more about universities and courses before applying through UCAS.

Staff and students are available for first-hand knowledge and experience of the University, and there are course prospectuses and other materials to take away.
