Our Story

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. Our motto “Rerum Cognoscere Causas” (to discover the causes of things), is as relevant today as when we were founded in 1905. However, the world is now a very different place.

We’re focused on equipping our students for life after Sheffield and our outstanding research-led teaching is empowering the next generation of global citizens. Our students have gone on to be bestselling authors, gold medal-winning Olympians and even groundbreaking astronauts. We’re proud of the difference we’ve made and continue to make. But we’ll never stop exploring new ways to do more.

Yet we’ve always looked to the wider world for inspiration and collaboration, welcoming students and staff from over 140 countries and nurturing research and alumni links across the world. These partnerships not only provide international opportunities for our people but also drive investment locally. This is a global university. Not just in our outlook, not just in our ambition, but in the challenges we tackle every day.

The sense of community spirit here at Sheffield is like no other. Our staff and students work together. They support and inspire one another. Our diverse and inclusive community brings together different views, approaches and insights, leading to richer, more creative and innovative teaching and research.
