Adult Learners' Week, 12-18 May 2012
Rediscover your potential
Not everyone arrives at university through the traditional routes. If you don't have formal qualifications, it doesn't mean you can't go on to higher education. Find out how you can make it happen through Adult Learners' Week.
We'll be able to tell you more about the full-time degree courses available at the University of Sheffield and the part-time courses available through our Institute for Lifelong Learning. A team of experts from across the University will be available to ensure you make informed decisions – and we'll tell you more about the financial support specifically for adult learners wishing to enter higher education.
There's nothing to fear - everybody is welcome to attend!
