History

The University grew out of the Sheffield Medical School (founded in 1828), Firth College (1879) and the Sheffield Technical School (1884). These three institutions came together in 1897 to form the University College of Sheffield, which in turn became the University of Sheffield in 1905. 

Education

We offer over 370 full-time undergraduate degree courses across 75 subject areas.Your masters is an investment in your future. It's a chance to capitalise on your talents and put yourself ahead in today's global careers market. It's also a chance to explore further, to discover more about the world and how you can help to make it better.When you join the Doctoral Academy at Sheffield, you're welcomed into a supportive community and treated as a colleague. You’ll gain free, personalised skills training, expert careers advice and become part of an inspiring, collaborative group of researchers from across the disciplines. 

Research

Our research changes lives and influences policy. We're addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges, from developing new treatments for life-threatening diseases to solving the problem of feeding a world of 10 billion and driving low-carbon technology.

The key issues facing humanity are embedded within complex systems, which cross the boundaries of academic disciplines. Our four flagship institutes bring together our key strengths to tackle these problems, turning interdisciplinary and translational research into real-world solutions. 

Career

We'll work with you to make sure your masters leads to great things.

Our careers advisers will help you with your global job search. National and international employers advertise For careers in academia, a PhD is likely to be a minimum requirement. Institutions will also look at your ability to teach and carry out administrative duties as well as your research potential and publication record.

The level at which you enter an academic career will depend on a number of things such as: your academic discipline; how much experience of teaching and research you already have; the relevance of any previous employment outside academia and the nature of the institutions that you apply to.
