Information for members of the local community

The University Of Sheffield is a major employer in the region. It is a top research university and one of the most popular UK destinations for talented students from Britain and more than a hundred other countries worldwide.

Benefitting the economy and the community

The economic benefits to the City of Sheffield are enormous, and there are many opportunities for the local community.

Educational courses, public events and lectures are available to local residents and we collaborate with schools and other agencies in the city.

Commitment to the community

Our students are active in contributing positively to the life of the City of Sheffield through volunteering and other community activities.

The University recognises that the presence of so many predominantly younger students has a significant impact. We are committed to building good community relations and are determined that our students are aware of their responsibilities in the neighbourhood.

Student/community web pages

We hope these web pages will be of interest and use to local residents and other stakeholders in the city and region. Any feedback, or suggestions for ways in which the pages could be improved, would be much appreciated.
