When to apply for a degree beginning in September 2026

Applications for undergraduate degree courses starting in September 2026 should be submitted between:

  • 2 September 2025 and 14 January 2026 to be guaranteed equal consideration with other applicants

  • 15 January and 30 June 2026 for further consideration, although we may not be able to consider your application if all the places on the course you've applied for have been filled

If you're applying for entry to the MBChB Medicine or the BDS Dental Surgery, you should submit your application by 15 October 2025.

Deferred entry

If you don't want to begin your studies straight away, you can defer your entry for a year. For example, you could apply in autumn 2025 for entry in September 2027. We welcome applications for deferred entry, and treat them on an equal basis with other applications.

Applications for deferred entry are considered under the conditions for entry in the UCAS application year in which they're submitted, and applicants must satisfy these conditions by the end of that application year. If you're applying for entry in September 2027, for example, you must have met the conditions of your offer by 1 September 2026.

Direct entry to Year/Level 2

We're happy to consider applications for entry to the second year of an undergraduate course. You should normally have met the Sheffield course's standard A Level requirements (or equivalent). You should also show us that you've undertaken and successfully completed a programme of study equivalent to the first year of the course that you're applying for. We reserve the right to determine whether you've covered an equivalent area of study. In assessing this we may ask you to provide further information on your studies to date, including course syllabuses.

Please note that some departments do not accept any transfers into Year/Level 2.


Disrupted studies

If you've experienced issues of a personal, social or domestic nature that have affected your post-16 studies, you can let us know by completing our Disrupted Studies form:
