About The University of Sheffield
The University of Sheffield grew from three institutions: the Sheffield Medical School (1828), Firth College (1879), founded by steel maker Mark Firth, and the Sheffield Technical School (1884). They merged in 1897 to form University College, Sheffield, which received a royal charter as the University of Sheffield in 1905. Hans Krebs discovered the citric acid cycle there in 1937.
