Psychology Experience Days

We’re delighted to offer Psychology Experience Days in the 2026/27 academic year for students studying level 3 qualifications.

Discover the science of thoughts, feelings, and behaviour through engaging and interactive sessions. 

What’s Involved

Psychology Experience Days at Sheffield Hallam University’s City Campus offer a taste of what it’s like to study psychology in higher education.

These engaging sessions enhance curriculum learning, support progression in the subject, and complement careers education by highlighting how psychology applies in real life and the wide range of career paths it can lead to. 

During the Experience Day, students will begin with a welcome talk delivered by a member of the academic team, providing an overview of the subject and the courses available. 

Students will then take part in two masterclasses delivered by academics in the field of psychology. These sessions are designed to be engaging and interactive, and typically focus on subject areas currently being researched or taught by the academics, reflecting their areas of specialism. 

Students will also have the opportunity to tour the psychology lab facilities in the state-of-the-art Redmires building, home to our psychology courses, where they will gain insight into the environment in which they would study.

Travel  

We recommend planning your travel arrangements in advance. As a city-centre university, we do not have on-site parking available; however, there are nearby privately owned car parks that we can direct you to.

For environmental reasons, and as we are conveniently located next to Sheffield train station and the Sheffield bus interchange, we encourage travel by public transport whenever possible.
