Schools and colleges

We are running a series of activities for schools and colleges alongside this year's degree show.

As well as opportunities to visit the exhibition, there are sessions for Y12 students studying an art or design related qualification to work with our academic staff and students to gain an insight into the subjects at higher education.

Please contact Kate Jackson at k.jackson02@shu.ac.uk or call 0114 225 2152 for more information or to book any of these activities.
