The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is a research-led department, formed in 1996. We have state-of-the-art laboratories to support our work along with all the modern IT facilities expected.
An important feature of the research environment in the department is the interdisciplinary research groups. The focus of our research effort through these groups means that we have been able to build up dedicated high-quality facilities and to tackle problems larger than those typically associated with single university researchers.
Our research groups provide the natural home for postgraduate research students; it is in their groups that students find the formal and informal supervision and much of the friendship that makes a research degree such an enriching experience.
We believe that a PhD in Chemical Engineering is an immensely valuable qualification for those aspiring to leadership positions in industry and research.
We also think that the environment we have created makes the Sheffield degree special.

The School of Clinical Dentistry
The School of Clinical Dentistry at Sheffield has 33 postgraduate research students and an annual intake of 55 dental undergraduates. It achieved a Grade 5 in the Research Assessment Exercise 2001, an "excellent" (23/24) rating in the QAA Subject Review exercise, and recently received an Investor in People award.
The School is situated on the perimeter of the main University campus and is connected to the Charles Clifford Dental Hospital. The Medical School, the Department of Biomedical Science, the Health Sciences Library and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital are all in close proximity. It is located on the western side of the city, adjacent to a pleasant residential area. Sheffield University provides a full range of sporting and recreational facilities for staff, and the Peak District National Park is within easy travelling distance.
Research strategy within the School
We receive research funding from Research Councils (eg MRC, BBSRC), the EU, Charities (eg Wellcome Trust, Action Research), and a range of commercial companies (eg GlaxoSmithKline, Boots).
Research in the School is organized into three thematic groups, 'Biomaterials', 'Neuroscience' and 'Health and Diseases'. Research encompasses laboratory and clinical projects, addressing both basic and applied questions. This multidisciplinary approach is facilitated by our direct physical link with the Dental Hospital which allows easy access to patients and patient material for use in research projects. Staff and students attend and present their work at several cross-faculty research seminar programmes held locally within the University of Sheffield, and are also very active at national and international meetings. The school has been awarded numerous national and international prizes for undergraduate and postgraduate research.
Specific strategy of the Neuroscience Research Group
The general aim of this research group is to further the understanding of the chronic oro-facial pain that sometimes arises as a consequence of nerve injury and inflammation. Our objective is the development of new methods of treatment.
This group collaborates with neuroscientists in the Department of Biomedical Science, which houses some of our research laboratories. Further afield, we have strong collaborative links with neuroscience groups in Stockholm, Michigan, São Paulo, and Calgary. We also have strong links with an industrial partner, GlaxoSmithKline. Clinically, we have developed a large referral base for patients with trigeminal nerve injuries, who travel to Sheffield from the UK and abroad, providing unique opportunities to obtain patient material for laboratory evaluation and correlation with symptoms.

Creative, critical, civic-minded and collaborative, the School of English at the University of Sheffield is one of the largest and most successful English departments in the UK. We are an interdisciplinary department, bringing together the study of literature, language, linguistics, theatre, film and creative writing to form a community that is unique in the world in its breadth and depth of study of the English language.
We have a thriving research environment, with world-leading experts conducting cutting-edge research across the full spectrum of English studies. We also have the largest group of researchers in the UK working on the intersection of language and literature. In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014), we were ranked number 1 in the UK for research environment.
The interdisciplinary nature of the School of English provides unique opportunities for cross-departmental and collaborative research. A selection of our centres for research demonstrates the breadth of our interests: Centre for Linguistic Research; Centre for the History of the Gothic; Centre for Poetry and Poetics; Literary Linguistics Research Cluster; Sheffield Animals Research Colloquium; Sheffield Centre for Research in Film; Sheffield Institute for Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies.
We maintain strong links with our local community, using our research to inform and support projects that have a real-world impact in our city and region, as well as nationally and globally.

The School is committed to excellence in language-based research in a range of disciplines. Members of staff in the School conduct individual research, supervise postgraduate students, and collaborate on larger scale research projects, local, national and internationally. We seek to maximize the benefits gained from the specificity of research in each of the School's constituent sections, based in a language or a language group, while reaping the added value to be gained from comparative exchange and collaboration across the School. Our teaching at both undergraduate and MA level is informed by our research, and research skills form an integral part of students’ training. To find out more about Postgraduate study in the School of Languages and Cultures, please visit our Postgraduate Programmes pages.
The School has a thriving research community of academic staff, postdoctoral research fellows and postgraduate students. While we conduct research in a wide range of languages, disciplines and geographical regions, we are united by a commitment to accessing sources in the language, and to the study of language-based cultures.
