Actually, Shefield City Polytechnic was able to award its own degrees before it was granted university status. It was the first Polytechnic deemed to be of sufficient stature to award it's own degrees by the Council for National Academic Awards, CNAA, which was the normal degree accrediting and awarding body for Polytechnics. Unfortunately, I can not remember the year in which this honour was granted.
- The Our Heritage section of SHU's website says that both were granted in 1992. Warofdreams talk 00:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] University ratings
(I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.

[edit] £100m redevelopment
Is it worth adding some comments on the recent and on-going building work? 1. The new entrace to City campus. 2. "Heart of the campus" (or whatever its called) at collegiate campus. 3. The new building (http://www.shu.ac.uk/news/release.html?ID=69) 4. Harmer level 4 re-build. I guess there may be more things the £100m is being spent on.. Gryphon5 00:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
