Highlights
The University of Sheffield dates back to the foundation of Sheffield Medical School in 1828. It merged with two other colleges in 1897 to create the University College of Sheffield, which received a royal charter and its current name in 1905. It is one of the original red brick universities and a founding member of the Russell Group.
Today it hosts just over 30,000 students a year including 7,000 international students from around 150 countries around the world.
Accommodation at the University of Sheffield is more like a student community. Ranmoor and Endcliffe are the two student residences on either side of Fulwood Road. Approximately 4,500 undergraduate and postgraduate students from all over the world call it home. Modern and self-contained, it has a rural feel despite being only a stone's throw from the city.
All contracts are self-catered, and the rent includes utility bills, contents insurance, internet access, and access to Residence Life events and sports activities throughout the year.
The Village Store is a quaint grocery shop nearby, and there are launderettes across the residences for convenience. A gym and bars complete the surrounding area, creating a communal feel where meeting fellow students is easy.
According to the StudentCrowd Top 20 UK University Students Unions, Sheffield has the best. It won for the second year in a row thanks to its commitment to sustainability (including a zero-waste food shop), facilities, entertainment and a wide range of eateries.
Meanwhile, 90% of the research conducted at the University of Sheffield is rated in the highest two categories in the REF 2021, meaning it is classed as world-leading or internationally excellent.
