About the University

The University of Sheffield is one of Britain's most popular universities. You don't need to take our word for it.

• The University was named UK University of the Year 2001 in The Sunday Times University Guide.
• The University was voted Number 1 Student Choice in the Virgin Alternative Guide to British Universities.

We have all the facilities that you would expect from a world-class institution, including a well stocked library and extensive computer facilities.

You will be given your own computer account that enables use of email and internet, plus all the other normal software packages including word-processing, spreadsheets, specialist statistical packages and on-line journals.

In addition, you can access e-mail and the internet from home via that Remote Access to Sheffield (RATS) scheme.
