Secure a place for September through UCAS Extra

We are still welcoming undergraduate international applications for the majority of our courses for 2025 entry through UCAS Extra. If any of your students have not yet received an offer, or have declined previous offers, they are still eligible to apply and secure a place ahead of the UCAS deadline. We would be delighted to receive their applications and to support them in taking the next step towards studying in the UK.

For the 2025 admissions cycle UCAS will close for applications at 6pm (UK time) 30 June 2025. Applications received after 30 June will automatically be entered into Clearing, which will open on 5 July.

International Undergraduate Scholarship - deadlines approaching

The deadline for students to accept their offer and be awarded our International Undergraduate Scholarship is approaching. This scholarship is worth £7,500 for three year programmes and £10,000 for four year programmes.

To be eligible, students must accept their offer by 4pm (UK time) 4 June 2025. No additional application form is required and the scholarship is awarded as a tuition fee reduction. Please encourage your students to accept their offer as soon as possible to ensure they don’t miss out.

Full details and eligibility criteria can be found here.

Engineering excellence in the Digital Innovation Zone

A team of international students from the University of Sheffield recently won the prestigious Siemens Robotic Arm Competition, held in the University’s state-of-the-art Digital Innovation Zone (DIZ). This unique space - the only one of its kind that Siemens has invested in at any university globally - provided the perfect environment for students to showcase their technical skills and creativity. Judged by Siemens staff, the competition highlighted the strength of our partnership and the exceptional talent being developed through hands-on, real-world experience.

ELTC Pre-sessional English application deadlines

The final application deadlines for our summer Pre-sessional English courses are coming up shortly:

• 10 week online course deadline: Monday 2 June 2025
