I chose Sunderland because the campus and facilities are all new and lovely, as well as being rated one of the best psychology departments in the North East. There wasn't enough focus on what to do when we graduated before third year, meaning we have had to fend for ourselves a lot to find a graduate job. Despite this, the people and staff were fantastic.

Great school. My course provides everything I hoped it would.
It's a perfect place to focus your studies, excellent lecturers, good people in university.
I should not consider Sunderland as a city it’s more a village and people will act like villagers as well, for me it’s not a bother but if you like clubbing and going out you have to spend some more money going somewhere else like newcastle and keep In mind that the metro isn’t in your favour, the university has some free activities that are interesting but the fact that they are put in the middle of the week makes it difficult for every student to attend. To be honest I didn’t like Sunderland at all and I can’t wait to leave but the university worth’s the effort but make sure you have friends to spend some time with cause there aren’t many things you can do if you don’t like theatre or casino games. Also I find it difficult to find a job here you can work in a factory close in the city but if you like something else is better to look somewhere else cause the payment can’t be good for a student especially if you are an international student there is a procedure that takes a month
Spent £4.500 on nothing so far. Learning has stopped since enrolment. I do not recommend anyone does an IFY here. It's just a money spinner. I'm hoping that learning commences next year, or I'll be requiring a refund, or lawsuit.The pointless tasks aren't teaching me a thing. For instance....a project worth a lot of points. Design an app that will never be built, for imaginary people who will never exist!? You work that one out! Linear 'learning' models sold as cycles, and time wasting exercises.I could've been SISCO certified by now if I was in charge of spending my funding.
studying at DanceCity based in Newcastle so cant rate everything throughly and truly
A good experience so far with helpful and friendly lecturers
I had a wonderful experience at Sunderland University. I recently finished my degree in Biomedical Science and the faculty and teaching were excellent. I found the lecturers were always engaged and willing to help. If they offered more postgraduate science courses I would have happily stayed on to do a masters.
University is good. Food not so much.
Good uni, good facilities, easy to get into, sometimes staff seem a bit too relaxed though and don't help much, but i guess it depends on your course, good location
Corrupt university engaging in cover up for corrupt lecturers. I regret attending this institution
Sunderland is a fantastic university. I loved my time here, in the Psychology department. I only graduated last year and I intend on going back for further study. The Psychology department has the most supportive and thorough lecturers I have ever met. It was most definitely the best experience of education I have ever had. I would recommend Sunderland university to my family, my friends and anyone who cared to listen. Donna.
Great course but I’m off campus
Sunderland is a poor city but the uni is a credit.
Don't even bother applying for this uni, the facilities will screw you, every single minute they crash! Got back up? don't worry because their Macs/PC will do everything it can to destroy your backups too. I have failed my submissions because of the facilities and sent them an email about the problems. After paying your tuition fee they just won't give a damn about you. Extremely disappointed with this university and I REGRET COMING HERE
Hi ! What about mature students ? Are they attending this uni ? How do you think they feel , are they easily integrating ? Thank you in advance for any answer regarding mature students .
The university are always helpful and always have students in mind
Good university with good facilities etc
I love Sunderland. They’ve been so so helpful
I liked this University. A good location. Wide range of societies and encouragement to create your own. Many oppportunities for students to work and volunteer.
the worst admission staff ever !! non professional, aggressive and they looked like fed up. you can't discuss your opinion with them. they feeling they are right and the others wrong
Friendly enough people and ok facilities, course organisation was lacking.
Zero support from useless teaching and reluctant 'support' staff. Don't believe their lies. Don't go here.
The course I attended needed improvements in my opinion. I personally think Sunderland is a nice city. Some of the services offered by the university can be a little expensive considering it is supposedly one of the cheapest parts of the country.
save up, go across the tyne and study at norhumbria or newcastle. there is no money at the uni, no atmosphere about the place especially at st peters campus, the student union building is non-existent (go check out leeds' SU building in comparison), was told that grades above 75 are scrutinized. best things? one library is 24/7, there's a greggs at city campus, city life (drinks/rent) is cheap.
WiFi can be a pain in the butt, however I really like the city. Transport is good.
Really good uni, great facilities and a pretty campus
It's a nice place that's based in a nice place and it'll get better

Fantastic! I did the 4 year teacher training course here and the staff have been wonderful. Just coming to the end now!
good big and spacious, had a gregs, Starbucks, library is really big and the city space is big, modern and really nice.
Only reason the SU isn't so good is because the social venue is at St Peter's campus only and it's a bit out dated. However, the services they provide are really good from what I've heard. The rest of the university is fab apart from the login system for wifi can be a pain to connect to but once your on its fine
The campus' are pretty good but food facilities could be cheaper and with better choice.
Love the facilities but wifi doesn't connect my laptop on campus. Wifi at halls is only adequate.
Great university! So glad I chose to came here. Campuses are small and nice looking.
good facilities, campuses are 20 minutes apart. Internet is okay. Careers services available and lots of careers updates
Very friendly atmosphere, plenty of things to do in the city, loads of awesome people and easy access to anywhere else in the North East for a bit of a lookabout!
no proper students union bar or meeting place and food at uni cafe is expensive and laptop has had problems connecting to the wifi, it wasn't straight forward
The societies are only good if you're good at a sport
