About

SheffMUN VII will take place across Friday the 30th of November to Sunday the 2nd of December across both of Sheffield’s two prestigious universities. 


The conference willl bring together up to 100 university students from across Europe and the world for a three-day simulation of United Nations Committees. 

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the United Nations, its working methods, its mission, aims and scope, as well as a better appreciation of world politics and international affairs. 

We will also be hosting two nights of amazing socials, with a three-course dinner on Saturday night at the Novotel, and a bar crawl on Friday Night at Revolution, West Street Live, and Bierkeller (all on the famous West Street).
