Sustainability and process simulation

Sheffield Hallam University has adopted a truly interdisciplinary approach to sustainability, involving both academic and non-academic staff from across the University.

Its commitment to sustainability has been recognised by gaining 'First Class' green status by the People and Planet campaign - a student group which campaigns for human rights and green issues - for its environmental performance. Sheffield Hallam was awarded eighth place out of 120 UK universities in their annual 'Green League' table.
