The University of Sheffield is a premier league university with an outstanding reputation for teaching and research which attracts excellent students from around the world. The best of these students were awarded scholarships, based on academic merit, to study at the University of Sheffield.
These exceptional students collected their certificates in a special ceremony from the Pro-Vice-Chancellor Micheline Beaulieu on 21st November 2007. Vice-Chancellor Professor Keith Burnett gave a speech congratulating the scholarship winners on their success.
