*************

The University of Sheffield is a leading research university, located in Sheffield in South Yorkshire, England. It was ranked 40th in the World's top 100 Universities by one study^[3] and is constantly ranked amongst the top 20 universities in Britain and Europe according to The Good University Guide.^[4] The university has produced five Nobel Prize winners so far. The University of Sheffield is one of the original 'red brick' universities and is a member of the Russell Group. The university is ranked in the UK's Top 10 and the World's Top 100 universities by the Shanghai Jiao Tong (SJTU) and Times Higher (THE) World University Rankings, and the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise found 41 submissions out of 49 of Sheffield's research to be "world-leading" or "internationally excellent" which made Sheffield among the Top Ten in the Russell Group.^[5]

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. 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. The three institutions merged in 1897 to form the University College of Sheffield.^[6] Sheffield is one of the six red brick universities.
