History

Origins

The University of Sheffield was originally formed by the merger of three colleges. The Sheffield School of Medicine was founded in 1828, followed in 1879 by the opening of Firth College by Mark Firth, a steel manufacturer, to teach arts and science subjects. Mark Firth ( 25 April 1819 - 28 November 1880) was an English industrialist and Philanthropist. Steel is an Alloy consisting mostly of Iron, with a Carbon content between 0 The arts is a broad subdivision of Culture, composed of many expressive disciplines. Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning " Knowledge " or "knowing" is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding Firth College then helped to fund the opening of the Sheffield Technical School in 1884 to teach applied science, the only major faculty the existing colleges did not cover. For the song by 311, see Grassroots. Applied science is the application of knowledge from one or more natural scientific The three institutions merged in 1897 to form the University College of Sheffield. [3] Sheffield is one of the six original Red Brick Universities.

Victoria University

It was originally envisaged that the University College would join Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds as the fourth member of the federal Victoria University. The Victoria University of Manchester (commonly known as the University of Manchester) was a University in Manchester, England. The University of Liverpool is a University in the city of Liverpool, England. The University of Leeds is a major teaching and research University in Leeds, West Yorkshire; one of the largest in the United Kingdom with Victoria University was a federal University with sites in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds in the United Kingdom.

Royal Charter

However, the Victoria University began to split-up before this could happen and so the University College of Sheffield received its own Royal Charter in 1905 and became the University of Sheffield. A Royal Charter is a Charter granted by the Sovereign on the advice of the Privy council to legitimize an incorporated body such as a city company

From 200 full-time students in 1905, the University grew slowly until the 1950s and 1960s when it began to expand rapidly. Many new buildings (including the famous Arts Tower) were built and student numbers increased to their present levels of over 20,000. The Arts Tower is a building in Sheffield, England belonging to the University of Sheffield.

In 1995, the University took over the Sheffield and North Trent College of Nursing and Midwifery, which greatly increased the size of the medical faculty. In 2005, the South Yorkshire Strategic Health Authority announced that it would split the training between Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University - however, the University decided to pull out of providing preregistration nursing and midwifery training due to "costs and operational difficulties". Sheffield Hallam University ( SHU) is a Higher Education institution based in the South Yorkshire city of Sheffield, England [4]

Over the years, the University has been home to a number of notable writers and scholars, including the literary critic William Empson, who was head of the Department of English; author Angela Carter; five Nobel Prize winners; and Bernard Crick. Sir William Empson ( 27 September 1906 – 15 April 1984) was an English Literary critic Angela Carter ( May 7, 1940 – February 16, 1992) was an English novelist and journalist known for her Feminist, The Nobel Prize (Nobelpriset (Nobelprisen is a Swedish prize established in the 1895 will of Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel; it was first awarded in Peace, Literature Sir Bernard Crick (born 16 December 1929) is a British Political theorist and Democratic socialist whose views are often summarised as "politics

The London School of Economics and Political Science, more commonly referred to as The London School of Economics or LSE, is a specialist college of the
