Graduation 2013. Wednesday 17 July 2013 The University of Sheffield
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. The University of Sheffield Graduation: Wednesday 17 July 2013 1

Reasons to be Proud
Celebrating success at The University of Sheffield Graduation is a time to recognise achievement and success, and each graduate has a story to tell of effort and attainment. Today’s graduates also have every reason to feel proud, not only of their own success, but that they are graduating from a world-leading university which is making a powerful difference in the world and helping to address some of the most urgent challenges facing society. The University of Sheffield is proud of its Nobel Prize winners and to have been awarded the honour of the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher Education on no less than four occasions. It was also named Times Higher Education ‘University of the Year’, with expert judges from UK higher education, industry and government recognising the outstanding achievements of The University of Sheffield as a top international university, describing qualities of ‘grit and determination’ in applying our expertise to real world challenges, and developing the talented young people whose skills will be so crucial to all our futures.
Research which changes lives So what are some of the highlights in a university which is committed to putting knowledge into action? Here are just a few reasons to be proud of your university:
Sufferers of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are benefitting from a unique new home for research relating to these devastating conditions. The Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) was opened by Her Majesty the Queen in 2010 and is a £12M development funded by benefactors eager to see a step change in the treatment of patients. Within just two years, researchers with expertise in neuroscience, computer modelling and pharmacy are developing treatments which are already giving hope to sufferers, including a new treatment for the childhood Sheffield students – putting knowledge into action in ways which make form of Motor Neurone Disease. a difference.

People with creativity and passion Yet without doubt, the University’s greatest asset is its people, and that, of course, includes our students.
In the past year, more students than ever have been involved with Sheffield Volunteering, turning their expertise and enthusiasm into active citizenship. Around 1,300 students have volunteered in projects across the City and region ranging from mentoring and environmental projects to legal advice and work with children facing disability or bereavement. Our Students’ Union RAG (Raising and Giving) charity raised £178,000 to benefit local charities.
This creativity and energy also unites the University with the people of Sheffield. In September last year, Memories of making a difference – over 1,300 students each year take part in Sheffield Volunteering, and raise almost £200,000 for local charities. the University and City’s creative community came together to hold a ten day ‘Festival of the Mind’. The first ever collaboration of its kind. 16,000 people of all ages attended over 70 events in venues across the City and at the University, with topics ranging from science to philosophy, from robots to poetry.
The awards which came in celebrated our efforts. We were proud to, once again, take the title of ‘Best Students’ Union in Britain’ as voted for by students, with an outstanding satisfaction of 90% in the National Student Survey. Our Student Services, IT and Library were named national, and even international, leaders.
But the accolades which mean the most are those which come from the people who know us best.
Engineering and medicine come together as Sheffield leads the way in work on The University of Sheffield was described as the personalised medicine and using the power of the latest innovations in computing UK university which students were most likely to to help make a difference to treatment and diagnosis. recommend to their friends. The reasons are as diverse as our students and graduates, but we are proud that a degree from The University of Sheffield continues to be the hallmark of quality.
We wish you all the very best for the future – and we do so knowing that you are a University of Sheffield graduate with every reason to be proud. 4 The University of Sheffield Graduation: Wednesday 17 July 2013

The Arms 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.
