10.00 am onwards – Experience Sheffield Exhibition, Level 2 Students Union (map ref 120) – The Open Day commences with an optional opportunity to visit our Experience Sheffield Exhibition. You can choose to take a tour of our libraries, sports facilities or award-winning accommodation. You can also find out how you can enhance your learning journey and increase your skills and employability. What you see and do is up to you, and most activities will begin at 10.00. You can plan your visit by looking at the Exhibition webpage ().

Please note that a specially tailored campus tour is included as part of the Department of Politics Open Day, and will depart from Firth Court after you have registered at 11:45. You therefore do not need to book onto one of the Exhibition’s campus tours. Our tours do not include the Library or accommodation, so if you would like to have a tour of either of these, you must do this during your time at the Experience Sheffield Exhibition. You can find out more details about how to reserve your place to visit the Library and accommodation on the Experience Sheffield Exhibition website.

We recommend that you allow 2 hours to visit the Exhibition and see the Accommodation. After you have visited the Exhibition please make your way to Firth Court, which is the designated registration point for the Politics Open Day.
