Important Information

• Each application is individual - You may apply to Sheffield with other people from your Univeristy, it does not mean you will get a decision at the same time as your friend.
• Each department has a different adviser & has 10 working days to make a decision - It can take time for the adviser to review your application and make a decision. We will chase departments if time elapses.
• Delays - at busy times of the year there can be delays for sending out offers. Please bare with us during these times. We have not forgot about you.
• Accurate information - please ensure that you provide up to date addresses and emails. Delays happen due to our office not being updated with new information.
• Early applicants - if you apply to Sheffield very early, key documents we have to send you may not be ready. This can then take a little while to get your offer to you. Don't worry, this is not a problem.
