You can search for vacancies and apply for a place using our online application system:

Alternatively, you can call our Confirmation and Clearing Helpline on 0114 212 9900 from inside the UK, +44 114 212 9900 from outside the UK.

Please note that calls made to the helpline may be recorded.

You can talk to as many institutions and express an interest in as many courses as you like. You can apply for up to three Sheffield courses in our online application system.

However, when it comes to finalising your place and going through the UCAS process, you can only pick one Clearing choice at a time in your UCAS Hub.

If you make your application via the Clearing Helpline, in some cases the helpline operator may be able to let you know immediately whether or not we're able to offer you a place, on the basis of the qualifications information you supply.

Alternatively, your details will be forwarded to the academic selection team responsible for the course to which you're applying. They'll consider the information you've provided, including your qualifications information, and decide whether or not we can offer you a place. The Admissions Tutor for the course may contact you to find out more about you and about your choice of course. When the selection team have made a decision, the University's Clearing team will contact you by phone or email to let you know the outcome.

If we offer you a place, you can have time to think about it if you need to – we'll normally ask you to let us know your decision by 11am on Monday 17 August.

Please note that calls made by the helpline may be recorded.

You can accept our offer either on the phone to our helpline, or online by following the instructions provided in the email we sent you confirming the offer.
