Graduation 2015.Friday 24 July 2015

Your graduation day is a special day for you and your family, a day for celebrating your achievements and looking forward to a bright future. As a graduate of the University of Sheffield you have every reason to be proud. You are joining a long tradition of excellence stretching back more than 100 years.

The University of Sheffield was founded with the amalgamation of the School of Medicine, Sheffield Technical School and Firth College. In 1905, we received a Royal Charter and Firth Court was officially opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. At that time, there were 363 students reading for degrees in arts, pure science, medicine and applied science. By the time of our centenary, there were over 25,000 students from more than 100 countries, across 70 academic departments.

Today, a degree from Sheffield is recognised all over the world as a hallmark of academic excellence. We are proud of our graduates and we are confident that you will make a difference wherever you choose to build your future.

With every generation of graduates, our university goes from strength to strength.

This is the original fundraising poster from 1904/1905 which helped raise donations for the University of Sheffield.

Over £50,000 (worth more than £15 million today) was donated by steelworkers, coal miners, factory workers and the people of Sheffield in penny donations to help found the University.

A century on, the University is now rated as one of the top world universities – according to the Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities.

Reasons to be Proud Graduation is a time to recognise and celebrate achievement and success, and every graduate has a story to tell of effort and attainment.

You should feel proud you are graduating from a world-leading university that is helping address some of the most urgent challenges facing society today.

That’s why some of the world’s most talented, ambitious staff and students come here, finding a place they can challenge accepted wisdom, push boundaries and break the mould.

As a place to live and study, we believe Sheffield is impossible to beat.

And the latest Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey highlights just how special Sheffield is, voted number one in the UK for student experience.

We believe that’s because we are building something very special here in the city we call home - academic excellence and the very best student experience.

Honorary DegreesThe University of Sheffield confers honorary degrees (or degrees honoris causa – as a ‘mark of honour’) on people who have given distinguished service or brought distinction to the University, the City of Sheffield or the region. They may be individuals of national or international standing or alumni of the University who have risen to the heights of their chosen profession or field of service.

The University tradition of recognising excellence in this way dates back to the first congregation to award Sheffield degrees. This took place on 2 July 1908 in Firth Hall, and the first honorary degree was awarded to the then Chancellor, the Duke of Norfolk. The University is proud to include many notable figures amongst its honorary graduates in the years since and 2015 is no exception.

Officers of the University of Sheffield



The University Arms, whose background colour is azure, contains a gold-edged open book at its centre, on which is inscribed Disce Doce (Learn and Teach).

On either side of the book is a sheaf of eight silver arrows, which is derived from the shield of old Sheffield. The gold crown is the Crown of Success and the White Rose of York denotes the University’s home county. The scroll carries the motto of Firth College, Rerum Cognoscere Causas (To Discover the Causes of Things; from Virgil’s Georgics II, 490).

The University mace, which precedes the presiding officer in the academic procession, is made from silver gilt. Used for the first time in 1909, it bears the Arms of both the University and the City of Sheffield, the York Rose, and the figure of Minerva holding the wreath and palm branch.
