School General Description

The University of Sheffield was envisioned as a place where knowledge would transform lives for the better. And its purpose remains the same, with the strategy to – as necessary – always be ready to reconfigure around this need. Sheffield prides itself on its open and pragmatic approach to scholarship - one that is intended to serve not only the needs of the academic community, but the wider world. The University takes its public and social responsibility seriously; it is committed to making the world a better place. This approach is embedded in everything, from partnerships forged with local and global organisations to the research conducted and teaching imparted.
