University of the Year 2024 - voted by our students

 

Studying at the University of Sheffield means you’ll get the future that follows a degree from a Russell Group University. You’ll see how world-leading research enhances our teaching and changes lives – starting with your own. You’ll also have an unforgettable experience in one of the best student cities in the UK. These are just a few reasons our students voted us the University of the Year (Whatuni Student Choice Awards, 2024). 

 

An international outlook

We're a global community with an international outlook. You'll learn alongside 30,000 students from over 150 countries, meaning your experience at Sheffield will be truly international.

Welcome to the University of Sheffield

A world-class university – a unique student experience. Sheffield is a research university with a global reputation for excellence. We're a member of the Russell Group: one of the 24 leading UK universities for research and teaching.

What makes us different

Your career starts here

Boost your career prospects – we’re one of the top 20 universities targeted by employers (The Graduate Market in 2023, High Fliers report). You’ll receive tailored careers advice and leave university with the skills, confidence and experience you need to pursue the future you want.

 

Proud of our history, focussed on the future

We’re a University with a proud history of making things happen. From pioneering the first use of penicillin in 1930, to our current researchers developing a lifesaving drug for the treatment of ovarian and breast cancer. We also have six Nobel prize winners amongst our former staff and students. 

Be welcome. Be the person you want to be. Be the best at what you do.

I entered the Hackathon in the first year and despite not being able to do anything as I barely knew about electronics I had so much fun I decided to enter again. I thought as a third year I would be able to actually do things in the project and I did! It was great this year as I did all the wiring, sorted everyone's soldering out and helped with all the electronics which were the backbone for how it turned on. There were around 70 universities involved in the competition from all across the UK with a mix of engineers. Our team won and I have been awarded a 12 month placement with Siemens which I am really pleased about and I hope to be able to see what sectors I might be interested in when I graduate.
