Sheffield Hallam University

[EduCativ]

We're a modern university with a long and proud history, dating from the opening of two 19th century schools, which would later become the foundations for Sheffield Polytechnic. Our campuses have seen two World Wars – Collegiate Crescent was used as a military hospital from 1915–19. When Collegiate Hall and the main building on Arundel Street were bombed during the Sheffield Blitz (1940), students rallied around to help wherever possible.
Our courses provide them with the skills they need for modern working life and prepare them for careers, not just jobs. Our graduates go on to work worldwide in the public and private sector, many at senior levels, in global organizations.
We shape our students' futures, preparing them for whatever they choose to do, and create knowledge that provides practical solutions to real-world challenges. We will be the world's leading applied for University, achieving outstanding outcomes for our students and our city and showing the world what a university genuinely focused on transforming lives can achieve.
The strategy has three aims. It aims to reset the University's level of ambition – not merely to be useful, but to be globally outstanding at what we seek to do. It aims to articulate a clear direction, enabling us to make the tough choices which big and complex organizations often find difficult. And it aims to be succinct and clear, expressed in compelling ways which can command the engagement of the whole University. It is a strategy for developing a truly great university – an innovative, imaginative university unafraid to take risks to make a difference.
Together, we will provide compelling answers to the challenges of the twenty-first century.
People are essential here at Sheffield Hallam. We believe that success is not about institutions or equipment but about giving individuals the opportunity and support they need to make a difference.
Our courses provide them with the skills they need for modern working life and prepare them for careers, not just jobs. Our graduates go on to work worldwide in the public and private sector, many at senior levels, in global organizations.
Our staff have a depth of expertise, knowledge, and experience to encourage, guide, and support those who learn. Ground-breaking research in business, engineering, sport, and healthcare wouldn't happen without our innovative researchers. Our courses come alive through teachers who apply real-world knowledge to everything they do. We're proud of our people and hope that if you join us to learn, work, create, or research, you'll be proud to be a Sheffield Hallam person too.
