University of Sheffield voted University of the Year

The University has been voted University of the Year, Best Students’ Union and Best Student Life at the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs) 2024.

Made up of around 35,000 university reviews, the Whatuni Student Choice Awards are the only awards based on student views. The awards aim to celebrate the commitment and hard work of higher education providers across the UK in creating the best environment for their students.

Professor Mary Vincent, Vice-President for Education at the University of Sheffield, said: “We are thrilled to be named University of the Year by the Whatuni Student Choice Awards 2024. This recognition is a reflection of the tireless efforts of our entire University community.” 

Winning the Best Students’ Union for the seventh year in a row is also a truly remarkable achievement which recognises the vibrant environment, outstanding support services, and plethora of opportunities our Students’ Union provides, allowing our students to thrive both academically and personally.

“Both of these accolades, coupled with the award for Best Student Life, underscores our commitment to providing a world-class learning and teaching environment that fosters academic excellence, personal growth, and a vibrant student life.”
