Activities
You'll have the chance to take part in a variety of activities related to Medicine to give you a real taste of what it's like to be a student at Sheffield.
We run a range of activities on our applicant days and the below examples will give you an insight into what you could be doing on the day.
Activities: Tour and Demonstrations in the Medical Teaching Unit
You'll have the chance to visit the Medical Teaching Unit, see our new state-of-the-art anatomage tables, high-quality plastic models, real bones and skeletons, plastinations (which are prosections that have been imbued with a plastic-like polymer to keep them lifelike) and the radiology and surgical procedure tutorials on our large touch-screen monitors.
A variety of Teaching Demonstrations
Our Teaching Demonstrations will be delivered across a number of breakout rooms in the Medical School. You'll have the chance to move around these breakout rooms at your own pace, so you can explore, learn and chat to current students and staff without rushing.
The various Teaching Demonstrations will provide you with an advanced opportunity to try your hand at physical examinations which are taught on the course, find out more about our different teaching styles and assessments, speak to our current students, learn about primary care and understand more about our student support offerings. Our senior team members will also be available to chat to.
