University of Sheffield

Profile

University guides confirm our position as one of the UK's leading universities. The Virgin 2008 Alternative Guide to British Universities, for instance, says that “Sheffield is a top university across the board�.

Teaching quality assessments rate our teaching very highly across a wide range of subjects, and official research assessments confirm our reputation as a centre for world-class research in many disciplines.

We have nearly 24,000 students, from 124 countries, and almost 6000 staff. The University of Sheffield is a popular choice with applicants for university places, and once they arrive our students enjoy the experience so much that many settle in Sheffield after they graduate.

Our research partners and clients include Boeing, Rolls Royce, Unilever, Boots, AstraZeneca, GSK, ICI, Slazenger, and many more household names, as well as UK and overseas government agencies and charitable foundations.

Our academic partners include leading universities around the world. International partnerships include Worldwide Universities Network (USA, Europe and China) and our partnership with Leeds and York Universities (the White Rose Consortium) has combined research power greater than that of either Oxford or Cambridge.

The University's history stretches back to 1828, when the Sheffield School of Medicine was founded, and our University Charter was granted in 1905.

Sheffield is England's fourth-largest city, with the wealth of facilities you would expect to find in a major city - yet it's compact, friendly and accessible. That's one reason why many students like living here so much that they stay on after graduating.

Cinemas, theatres, pubs, clubs, shopping, sport, music - whatever your interests, you'll find Sheffield has what you want.


When you choose the University of Sheffield for undergraduate study, you will find a safe and friendly environment, high-quality accommodation, low cost of living, good transport links, an enjoyable social life, and all the amenities of a city.

Our continuing investment programme puts the interests of students at its heart, through investment in library and computing facilities, and a major on-going building and refurbishment programme providing additional facilities for academic departments as well as superb new student accommodation.

The campus is situated close to the city centre and the main student residential areas, with excellent transport links. Sheffield is small enough to be friendly, but large enough to have all the amenities of a major city. It is also, according to government statistics, the safest city in England. The University continues to win acclaim in media league tables and similar assessments, including those such as the Virgin Guide which take the views of existing students into account.
