Sheffield Hallam University (SHU) is a Higher Education institution in South Yorkshire, England, based on two sites in Sheffield. City Campus is located in the city centre, close to Sheffield railway station, and Collegiate Crescent Campus is about two miles away, adjacent to Ecclesall Road in south-west Sheffield. The university is the fourth largest in the UK in terms of enrolment, with more than 33,000 students, over 3,200 staff and 572 courses. One of the university's priorities is to promote regional wealth creation through enterprise and knowledge transfer. 1843 As the industrial revolution gathered pace and Sheffield was on the verge of becoming the steel, tool and cutlery making capital of the world, the Sheffield School of Design was founded. For over a century it enjoyed a distinguished history as one of Britain’s top schools of art and design. 1905 The City of Sheffield Training College on Collegiate Crescent admitted its first 90 students. 1969 The Sheffield School of Design merged with the city’s College of Technology to form Sheffield Polytechnic. 1976 Sheffield Polytechnic absorbed the city’s two teacher training colleges, and was renamed Sheffield City Polytechnic.
