What happens at an offer holder day?
Whether it's your first trip to Sheffield or not, the offer holder day provides a great opportunity to spend time with your subject area, gain a greater insight into your course, and take a closer look at the fantastic facilities and support services that form part of your wider Sheffield experience.
Quality time with your subject
Much more than just a one-hour course talk, many subjects will offer taster lectures or seminars, extended Q&A sessions or panels with current students. Some subjects may offer lab tours or demonstrations. There will be opportunities for 1:1 conversations with subject staff and current students.
The central exhibition
Discover why Sheffield offers one of the best student experiences in the UK at the central exhibition. Find out everything you need to know about Sheffield including study abroad opportunities, student finances, sport and societies, disability support and more. Pick up guides, talk to the experts and explore the ways we can support your time at Sheffield.
Tours
The best way to find out about our world-class facilities is to see them for yourself. Take student-led tours of our campus and facilities - from our top-voted Students’ Union to our world-class libraries and outstanding sports facilities. Free bus tours of our award-winning accommodation are also available.
