Selection process
This is a competitive process and not all applications will be successful; a panel of senior members of staff will select the strongest application.
The panel will be looking to see in particular if you have:
- an excellent academic record,
- provided a clear rationale for applying for a postgraduate course at the University of Sheffield,
- outlined challenges to academic and professional progress and detailed how these barriers have been overcome successfully,
- outlined examples of work experience in the field of International Development, including community and voluntary work,
- clearly articulated future ambitions; these goals relate to the postgraduate degree you have applied for, and how your learning will benefit others from your country or Africa in general.
Additionally, it will be taken into account if applicants may have been the victim of discrimination due to their gender, colour, religion, sexual orientation, or other unique personal traits.
