Sheffield Connect

The University of Sheffield has a powerful global network of over 330,000 graduates. For the first time, we are bringing this community together by launching an exclusive online community and mentoring platform for our students and alumni.

Why join Sheffield Connect?

Connect with your local community of Sheffield alumni. Whether you’re still studying at Sheffield or graduated many years ago, Sheffield Connect is here to support you. This exclusive online community for students, alumni and staff is your free networking tool, carefully built to enrich your career development.

Sheffield Connect offers you:

Access: Reach out to alumni from all years and programmes around the world, as well as industry experts and professionals. As students, you can begin building networks before you graduate and learn from the vast experience and insights our alumni offer.

Mentoring: As a student, you can benefit from alumni mentoring to help you find out more about a particular career, network with a professional and develop your skills. As a graduate, you can become a mentor and share your experiences to help students get started in their career. All mentees are carefully matched to a professional in their field of interest, and the platform allows you to easily manage your relationship in our centralised hub.

Volunteering opportunities: Whatever stage you're at in your career, volunteering is a fantastic way to give back to your university. This is your chance to inspire, guide and advise the next generation of Sheffield graduates.

News and events: Join bespoke alumni events happening in your region to connect with your community and stay up to date with news from your university.
