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: A variety of Teaching Demonstrations
Our Teaching Demonstrations will be delivered across a number of breakout rooms in the Medical School and will run both before and after the School Talk and Q&A, where you'll get to quiz senior staff. 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.
The Medical School Cafe will be open throughout this time so you can grab a coffee and sandwich.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at our open day - your chance to find out everything that you might want about studying medicine in Sheffield.
