Studying at Sheffield in September

I was wondering if there is a mature student society or something where I could meet other mature students when I start at The University of Sheffield in September 2025 as I'm 30

Hi Ben,

Don't be put off because you are a mature student, we have loads of mature students attend The University of Sheffield and yes there is a mature student society, alongside lots of other societies where you will find a rang of individuals attend, of differing ages. There are also mature student committee group chats and Facebook pages, which you can join prior to September, to get speaking to new people who will also be attending the university.

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any further questions :smile:

Hi Olivia

If there is a Mature Student Society why doesn't it come up when I search for it on the Student Unions website?.

Hiya,

I believe Olivia may have referring to our part-time officer who represents mature students at our SU and runs sessions for mature students to meet up and have some form of social together.

Hope this clarifies a bit and let me know if there is anything else I could help you with!
