Since The University of Sheffield has an excellent reputation, your chances of capturing a well-paid job will be dramatically increased. One safe way to judge a department´s reputation is to see how well it is doing in terms of research income. Departments with high research incomes will have good reputations since this means that industry and Government are prepared to invest.

The very best departments will be rated 5*, which will generally mean good facilities, not just in computers for example, but also in specialist laboratories for things like semiconductors, radio frequency measurements and microprocessors. Ours is one of the very best departments and is rated 5*. EEE at Sheffield has all of these facilities and they are "state-of-the-art". Places with good research incomes also attract the best minds and it is these experts who will pass on cutting edge knowledge through their teaching to you.
