Make the most of your open day
Our advice for getting here, what to do when you arrive and how to make the most of your day with us.
Welcome to our open day
The open day is as flexible as you want it to be. You don’t need to register on arrival, as attendance will be recorded at your pre-booked subject talks, and the rest of the day’s activities can be done in any order.
If you have any questions or are unsure what to do next, just ask our friendly team of event staff and student ambassadors located in our Information Hub gazebos and spread around campus. They can talk you through the activities listed in this online guide, and help you to navigate the day.
Open day frequently asked questions
Getting here
We recommend travelling to the University via public transport. Sheffield has great transport links, with several park and ride sites, and is easily accessible by train. We are unable to offer visitor parking on campus and the public 'pay and display' parking close by is very limited.
