Please remember that if you only have one or two students attending you can complete this information on the back of their application form.

Please sign this form to confirm that the above application form is completed accurately and:

  1. That we will receive all relevant information regarding disabilities, learning difficulties and allergies
  2. Students have, or are on course for, a minimum of 5 A*-C grades at GCSE (with at least 3 grades B or above and a minimum of Grade C in English and Maths)
  3. If in Year 12 students are on course to get BBB or higher in their A Levels, or would be with the right encouragement. This is due to the entry requirements at the University of Sheffield being ABB at minimum.
  4. The students demonstrate commitment to their studies
  5. All would qualify as a home fee paying student (For more info see:

If our events are oversubscribed we will be using information on the application form to prioritise students for places. This will include giving priority to students who are in the first generation of their family to attend university and/or from backgrounds that are underrepresented in Higher Education(i.e. pupils with a disability and pupils who have been in care). In addition to this we may include an assessment of levels of deprivation of the applicant based on the home postcode provided. The University will use a postcode analysis tool do this, e.g. Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) and/or POLAR data, which measures the progression rates to higher education from postcode areas.

Please help us by prioritising students who would benefit most from working with us – please make contact if you’d like to talk about this.
