Leave a comment

Wherever you’re from, you belong – join our Culture Connect peer mentoring scheme and meet people from all over the world!

This mentoring scheme helps new students settle into university life. It is a great way to meet people from all over the world and learn about different cultures. You will be matched with a mentor who you will develop a one-to-one supportive mentoring relationship with.

You will share information about your cultures, experiences and traditions, as well as attend social activities and skills training sessions with other members.

Check out this great video from our mentors and mentees, where they talk about the benefits of joining the scheme:

If you’d like to speak to someone about the scheme, then we’ll be at the GoGlobal Fair on Wednesday 25 January from 11am–12pm – book here.

Walk in the Peak District

Leave a comment

Sheffield is well known for being a beautiful place to live and visit, but did you know that it is also the greenest city in Europe?

With that in mind, we thought it’d be a fantastic idea to take a trip to the Peak District and walk around some of the most scenic landscapes that the UK has to offer.

We would recommend that you wear comfortable walking shoes, a picnic and waterproof clothes – although it’s the summer, it can sometimes rain!

One of our British students will lead the walk, and you will need to meet them at 9.30am on Sunday 22 January outside the main University entrance. This event is free of charge.
