Sheffield
Founded in 1828
The University of Sheffield (TUOS) was established in 1828 and is a public research university located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It is one of the six Red Brick universities in the UK and a founding member of the prestigious Russell Group of universities, often referred to as the "Ivy League" of the UK.
Unlike traditional campus-based universities, Sheffield is an open university city, with 430 teaching buildings spread across the western part of the city center. The university is made up of six faculties and 50 departments, offering a wide range of programs. It is known for its leading research and teaching quality and ranked first in the 2014 Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey, reflecting high student satisfaction in areas such as student experience, social life, university facilities, and accommodation.
To date, six Nobel Prize winners have been affiliated with Sheffield, and the university has produced numerous notable figures, including national leaders, home secretaries, appellate judges, Booker Prize winners, and Olympic gold medalists.
