If you arrive outside of our Meet and Greet desk opening hours and you need assistance, you can call our 24-hour helpline:0800 073 1318 – make sure to save this number before you travel.

Timeline
Follow this timeline and complete the key tasks to ensure a smooth transition to study in Sheffield Hallam University.
If you are an international postgraduate taught or undergraduate applicant, you are required to pay £3,000 deposit before you receive your Confirmation of Acceptance for Study (CAS) from Sheffield Hallam University. You will then also pay an additional £5,000 before you enrol at the University. Your payment amount may differ, please click on the below button for more information on paying your fees.
Before you arrive in the UK you can join our online Pre-departure Briefings, live Q&A sessions, or watch video presentations. Get answers to your preparation and arrival questions.
Once you are in Sheffield, visit our on-campus International Meet & Greet desk with your questions, as many times as you need.
If you are studying in the UK under a Student visa you will need to activate your eVisa before you get your immigration documents checked and enrol. From 6 January, the International Experience team will be offering a daily support workshop at 3pm if you have any questions about how to do this.
Before attending a workshop, please activate your Hallam I.T. account and connect your device to University Wi-Fi.
To book in for the eVisa Workshop please contact Hallam Help by phone or at a help point. Once you're booked in, you will be told the location of the workshop.
All students who have declared a nationality which is not British or Irish must attend an on-campus document checking appointment as part of the enrolment process.
