How to apply

Home fee-paying students

If you previously studied as an undergraduate and will be studying a new postgraduate course with us, you do not need to complete the application form. Instead, you only need to tick the 'UG at Sheffield' box on the financial declaration page when completing your online pre-registration tasks. The discount will then be automatically applied to your tuition fee.

If you have previously studied at postgraduate level with us (even if you also studied at undergraduate level with us), then you will need to complete the application form below. You will then receive an email confirming the discount once it has been applied. Please do not submit an application until you have received an offer to study with us. You should use your MUSE for Applicants login details to access the application form.
