The University of Sheffield provides various opportunities to help you make the most of your first year at Sheffield. One way to do that is by having a student mentor!

These are fellow students in you department who can help answer your questions and share their experiences of University Life. You're able to meet with them across the year at times that suit you both.

You can apply now, or any time of the year, see further information on the google slides and by going to www.sheffield.ac.uk/mentoring.

Philosophy Society (PhilSoc)

Becoming a part of PhilSoc is the best way to meet people on your course and to make your coursemates part of your social life throughout your time at university.

We organise a massive range of events, catering for every taste. Whether you want to meet new friends, become a part of our football or netball team, run for a committee member position, buy cheap university books, help out our chosen charity, fundraise for a project, come to a weekend abroad, listen to exclusively organised speeches (by some of the most well known philosophers and our own academic staff), improve your CV, learn to debate, volunteer, get help with your degree or simply have a few beers with fellow philosophers; this society is for you!

To learn more about the society, check out our video giving an overview of our plans for 2020/21!

Philosophy in the city

Philosophy in the City (PinC) is an award-winning outreach project, run entirely by student volunteers from the University of Sheffield’s Philosophy department. PinC volunteers go into schools and other institutions to facilitate philosophical discussion, encouraging pupils and residents to think critically about philosophical problems and develop their own ideas.


They aim to promote opportunities for people of any age or background to engage with Philosophy and to make Philosophy a subject that is of use and value to both the individual and society. You can learn more about Philosophy in the city and how to be involved by both the video and the PinC webpages.
