As we enter the Year of the Horse, a time associated with energy, momentum and ambition, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued partnership. You are a vital part of our global network, and we value the dedication you show in supporting students on their journey to Sheffield.
Exclusive March events in China
To further support your offer holders and enquirers in their decision making journey, we are delighted to announce a series of Future Student Engagement events that will take place across China this March.
