Equal Opps Criteria Information

At the University of Sheffield Careers & Employability Service, we acknowledge the intersectional nature of many hardships faced by our students and that some students may identify with more than one widening participation/ Equal Opps criteria.

Although, we feel it is important to provide support that acknowledges the uniqueness of each criteria. As such, below is a list of support available for students identifying with each criteria. Please look at all the information that is relevant to you.
