Quality standards for all UK universities and institutions are amongst the very best and in the fore-front of the academic world. The popularity can be judged by the fact that there judged by the fact that there are currently 40,000 Indian students studying in the UK. UK programs are significantly less expensive than programs in other top destinations for international students, including the U.S. Programs in the UK are shorter in length, which can decrease total expenditure by a large amount. Reputed universities in the UK offer MBAs, as well as the highly sought after one-year Masters Degree for almost all disciplines – opting for this not only saves you time, but money as well. The admission for these courses is based on the marks obtained at the undergraduate level in India. Under the new visa assessments, it is advisable to have obtained the given IELTS grades, especially for the undergraduate applicants, although sometimes the university/college may not necessarily ask for them.

The University of Sheffield The University of Sheffield


About Us:

 

The University of Sheffield has been named UK University of the Year in the 2011 Times Higher Education Awards. Judges said that the University "stood out as a result of a strategy based on its values and rooted in its founding principles" and praised our "determination and grit" in focusing on our local community. University guides also confirm our position as one of the UK's leading universities. The 2010 Virgin Guide to British Universities says that "Sheffield is a top university across the board".

 

Teaching quality assessments rate our teaching very highly across a wide range of subjects, and official research assessments confirm our reputation as a centre for world-class research in many disciplines. We have nearly 25,000 students from 128 countries, and over 5,500 staff. The University of Sheffield is a popular choice with applicants for university places, and once they arrive our students enjoy the experience so much that many settle in Sheffield after they graduate. Our research partners and clients include Boeing, Rolls Royce, Unilever, Boots, AstraZeneca, GSK, ICI, Slazenger, and many more household names, as well as UK and overseas government agencies and charitable foundations. Our academic partners include leading universities around the world. International partnerships include Worldwide Universities Network (USA, Europe and China) and our partnership with Leeds and York Universities (the White Rose Consortium) has combined research power greater than that of either Oxford or Cambridge. The University's history stretches back to 1828, when the Sheffield School of Medicine was founded, and our University Charter was granted in 1905.

 

The University holds charitable status as an Exempt Charity. The benefits include tax savings to both the University and to charitable donors or their estates. The University of Sheffield developed from three local institutions: the Sheffield School of Medicine, Firth College and the Sheffield Technical School. The School of Medicine, founded 1828, was by far the oldest. Its early history was very insecure and it was saved from collapse by the opening of Firth College, which took over the teaching of all basic science subjects to medical students. Firth College was one of a group of university colleges founded in the later 19th century. It developed out of the Cambridge University Extension Movement, a scheme designed to bring university teaching to the large towns and cities of England, most of which lacked any university provision. The success of these courses in Sheffield led Mark Firth, a local steel manufacturer, to establish the College in 1879 as a centre for teaching Arts and Science subjects.
