Environmental Science offer holder days
As part of your offer holder day at Sheffield, you'll be spending some quality time getting to know the School of Geography and Planning and your chosen course.
Arriving on campus
You will have booked to visit us either from 10am to 12.30pm or 2pm to 4.30pm on your offer holder day.
Please arrive in good time for the start of your booked session, as we'll need to scan the QR code from your booking confirmation to register you.
Your offer holder open day will begin downstairs in the Arts Tower, Lecture Theatre 8, before moving to the Geography and Planning Building for interactive sessions. There will also be lots of open day staff and ambassadors around campus to assist you.
If you arrive late for your booked session, please report to the general information stand on the Students’ Union concourse, where event staff will be able to help.
When booking, you'll be able to reserve a place for yourself and one guest for school activities. To ensure safe venue capacities, the school is unable to accommodate any additional unbooked visitors.
However, you're welcome to bring additional guests to accompany you on the day, and we would encourage these guests to take part in our range of central exhibitions and tours while the school activities are running.
