Geography offer holder days
As part of your offer holder day at Sheffield, you'll be spending some quality time getting to know the Department of Geography and your chosen course.
Arriving on campus
You will have booked to visit us 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 to register you.
Your offer holder open day will begin downstairs in the Arts Tower, Lecture Theatre 9, before moving to the Geography and Planning Building for interactive sessions. There will 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 at the department activities. To ensure safe venue capacities, the department will be 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 department activities are running.
