Mature Students


Sheffield's students come from a wide range of backgrounds and educational experience. The Department especially welcomes applications from mature candidates (over 21 years on entry to the University). A substantial proportion of our current students come from non-standard backgrounds and we have a dedicated admissions tutor for mature students. Among the various criteria used in making offers to mature students are study for A levels, access programmes, or professional qualifications. Mature students are sometimes asked for interview, or to submit written work.
