We're University of the Year 2024!

Earlier this year we were delighted to have been voted the University of the Year at the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs) 2024.

 

The awards, which are the largest annual university awards in the UK voted for exclusively by students, were a multiple celebration for the University, which also won Best Students' Union for the seventh year running and the award for Best Student Life.

Professor Mary Vincent, Vice-President for Education at the University of Sheffield, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to be named University of the Year by the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2024. This recognition is a reflection of the tireless efforts of our entire University community - our dedicated and supportive staff, and of course, our incredible students. 


"Both of these accolades, coupled with the award for Best Student Life, underscores our commitment to providing a world-class learning and teaching environment that fosters academic excellence, personal growth, and a vibrant student life. We are incredibly proud to offer an experience that our students value so highly."
