Spreading the word The University’s historical roots may be in Sheffield, but our identity is global and the impact of what we do reaches out to benefit all the places our students and staff also call home. It is this truly international perspective which makes our University a place of rich cultural and educational exchange: we have students from over 125 countries taught by academic staff from 87 countries. We asked a group of our international alumni what their University of Sheffield degree means to them.

Appointment of new PVC International Professor Rebecca Hughes is the University’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor International: “Internationalisation at home and abroad forms two halves of the same coin. I’m looking forward to working with partners across the University and tackling issues around internationalisation from both perspectives. We’ll be assessing what it means to be an international student at Sheffield, whilst engaging with the city and the local community to develop a strong, well-rounded, international strategy embedded within the University’s values.” Professor Rebecca Hughes, Pro-Vice-Chancellor International 14
