Travelling home for Christmas

You will hopefully be aware that the government has published guidance this week for students to travel home at the end of the term should they wish to do so. We are working through what this guidance means for you, and are able to share the following details with you today. We will continue to keep you updated as our plans progress.

Current students

You can live in University accommodation throughout your studies at The University of Sheffield. We launch a campaign every year for returning students, this year this will go live in January 2021 as we are working with the Students' Union on making sure that students don't book early this year due to Covid-19. There's a surplus of accommodation across the city, so don't worry and wait until New Year.
