| What is the University of Sheffield |
The University of Sheffield belongs to you. It exists today because the people of Sheffield made it happen. In 1904, the working people of the city, your great-grandparents and their parents, donated a penny to the cause and raised £50,000 - about £17million in today's money. They wanted Sheffield to have a university because they wanted you to dream bigger dreams and make those dreams real. |
