Access to Sheffield Programme

Access to Sheffield (Y12-13) has been tailor made to give Year 12 students the experience of what it is like to be a student at the University of Sheffield. The programmes cover five different subject strands, which are: Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences, Dentistry, Law, Medicine and STEM. As part of the programmes all successful students will take part in: a welcome event, introduction/team building day, multiple degree level subject taster sessions, a residential summer school, tutoring & mentoring. Students will also benefit from transition events throughout Year 13. 

Students who successfully complete the programme will be eligible for a contextual offer, of 2 grades below the standard offer, from the University of Sheffield (subject to conditions). 

Applications open on Monday 8 September, and close on Friday 7 November 2025. 

All details about our programmes, including eligibility criteria, can be found on our web pages. If you have any questions please contact the Post 16 team on: accesstosheffield@sheffield.ac.uk
