The University of Sheffield's coat of arms.

The arms were granted when the University received its Royal Charter in 1905.

The University's Latin motto (on the scroll), rerum cognoscere causas, means 'to discover the causes of things'. The motto on the book, disce doce, means 'learn and teach'.

Other features include eight silver arrows (from the arms of Sheffield), the Crown of Success and the White Rose of Yorkshire.
