Access Sheffield

Access Sheffield recognises that everyone has the potential to progress to higher education but may have different circumstances and barriers to overcome. You might be eligible for additional support to help you access education at Sheffield.

Access Sheffield helps ensure that everyone who has the potential to succeed on our courses has the opportunity to do so. We recognise that ability isn't always demonstrated through a standard set of qualifications, not everyone has an easy journey through school or goes to University at the same stage. 

In our efforts to build a diverse and inclusive community of students, we also acknowledge that not everyone comes from the same background, or has access to the same level of support and guidance when looking to apply to university.
