About Company

We're a world top-100 university renowned for the excellence, impact and distinctiveness of our research-led learning and teaching.

This wonderful academic community, the University of Sheffield, is such an important place for all the communities that we serve across our region, the UK and the world. And this is a crucial time for us to be thinking about our strategy.

Our University does not exist for itself alone, and it never has. It was founded by individuals and groups who had a profound belief in the public value of universities for the economy, for health, for changes in the lives of children and of a community.

Our University was envisioned as a place where knowledge would transform lives for the better.

And our purpose remains the same, with the strategy to – as necessary – always be ready to reconfigure around that need.

Our strategy is therefore more than simply ours as an academic community – it serves our wider world. And it is open and pragmatic – we are ready to try different approaches to offer the education and scholarship the world needs. We will be bold where we should be, while preserving what matters most.

Our values are strong, but they are not holding us back from change. Far from it. Time and again, it is these very values which are repeatedly putting Sheffield at the forefront of translational research, new routes in higher education and questioning boundaries between scholarship and the wider world. Our strategy is to build on this.
