Study Abroad Tutors

Contact information for study abroad tutors.

Off

These are the study abroad tutors in each academic area, for both inbound and outbound students. Some schools have different tutors for European and non European destinations, and some have more than one tutor depending on how many subjects they cover.

Inbound students

The study abroad tutors should be your first point of contact for academic questions while you are in Sheffield.

Outbound students

The role of the study abroad tutor is to give continual academic advice from enquiry stage right through to when you are overseas.

They help you identify relevant courses at the overseas universities, they're contactable while you're abroad, and they ensure you always meet your Sheffield degree requirements.

You must discuss your options with them before you submit an application.
