The University of Sheffield (informally Sheffield University or TUOS) is a public research university in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It first started as Sheffield Medical School in 1828, then Firth College in 1879 and then Sheffield Technical School in 1884. The University College of Sheffield was later formed by combining the three colleges in 1897. It was granted a royal charter as the University of Sheffield in 1905 by King Edward VII.
