University of Sheffield

About us

We are a world-class university at the heart of an extraordinary city. We are driven by outstanding people working as one. Our work has the power to change lives, not just for those who study, teach and research here but for those who benefit from the discoveries we make every day. We're proud of our past, yet it's the future that really excites us. We are the University of Sheffield and this is our vision.

Our university’s core purpose is to deliver world-class research, innovation and education. We will do this by working as One University. These equally important four pillars underpin our vision.

115 years in the making, our story continues to evolve every day, defined not just by our achievements but by the unique character of our people and this remarkable city.
