The staff are really helpful, my lecturers are always making themselves available to me and willing to help my mental health.
A good place to learn how to work independently and if you need help there are a lot of services to help
Amazing people and the atmosphere is just incredible it feels like each course becomes a real family
For my course (medicine) I feel well supported and I quite like the teaching here
I have joined the University of Sunderland in the September batch this year, Within the few days of being in Uni I find that my Uni is very welcoming for students and Faculties. I am overall happy with what is happening in my Uni.
Pretty good, cannot connect my laptop to the wifi, and a lot of people I know cant
Great University and fantastic teachers. But education is always as good as you take it. If you’re focused you’ll be good.
Lectures are Phenomenal and campus is stunning ! I can’t praise Sunderland uni enough
The best University in the UK ever, I enjoyed my study here with their awesome facilities
The university is really great with good professors.
The university does nothing about discrimination including threats, even faced it from staff. Wifi never works, an antisocial university in a bad area. Student support is great but wouldn’t need it if the university wasn’t so awful.
The university of Sunderland is average. There is nothing amazing about it. The social spaces and study spaces are decent but the libraries are full of outdated resources, the gym is tiny (and expensive) and it doesn’t have a welcoming atmosphere to it.
Great facilities and support for the students here.
Hardly on campus due to covid and now being hybrid learning with most of my lectures being online. When I have been to the campus it has been a good place to work and has many facilities available.
the tutors are helpful and try to look after you as much as possible. great facilities for socialising. affordable gym in city space. both campuses have great views.
Overall good university, not that much experience due to mostly online but looking forward to the next 3 years.
Very good university, I have all I need for my time of studies
The facilities are pretty good, two libraries with plenty of computers however theres alot of IT problems, lecture halls are great in both campuses
I'm doing an Online course so none of these are applicable to me
Everything seems very good so far
This is a very bad university. Only cuz it’s cheap people go here.
For specific courses this university is a gem, really close to the student and offers all around support. I couldn’t have chosen a better university
The most supportive education setting I've ever been part of as a disabled student.
only been here 3 weeks so i have little to say but i really like it. the teaching staff are incredible. the uni got cyber attacked but their IT systems, online timetables and canvas was already horrible to use. the food is nice. good coffee. there is also plenty of support provided from staff. i am on the social sciences ify programme and i’m enjoying the course so much! a really underrated uni!
I haven’t been approached with many social opportunities as of yet. The staff are helpful and understanding, as well as inspiring in that most of them are workers in the practical field as well as teachers. Meaning they give specific and helpful advice.
Everything in the univesity is outstanding
Haven't been into the university yet due to lockdown but went there once to get a card but literally no one is available, despite I was told to be there to collect the card
Had a fab time at Sunderland Uni, far better than I originally expected and was very surprised to find out it wasn’t even ranked in the top 100 after the good experiences I had!
University itself is great. Staff are usually quite helpful. Primary Education cohort could do with being split in 2 so there's more focused time but overall would recommend amd would go back for a masters
Good facilities and staff with 2 campuses and libraries based in the uk. There are no clubs or societies that interest me. Good do with better WiFi
Amazing build with modern studios and excellent facilities
I can't give a very good review due to covid again, I haven't been there nor participated in much this year.
It's a good university to go to with some great results, but it is lacking in its student facilties such as the students Union. I'm from a different part of the country but the university there doesn't do my course so came here, at that university there is a massive students union building with restaurants, bars, clubs a supermarket. All the students Union has at Sunderland is a couple of offices and that's it. Academics are really friendly and helpful as well as other university staff. Good accommodation choices for new students too and a wide range of societies.
A great experience. Staff are great.
University of Sunderland is a very nice University
The lecturers have been absolutely amazing.
I’ve lived here for nearly two years and my experience hah been good. The location is accessible and the security is second to non. No accomodation is perfect but this in comfortable.
The university is perfect and has all things I require. The staff are amazing and always there for any support at all.
overall good university for education and university experience overall
Great university with great staff but not enough student engagement
I study at university of Sunderland since 2017 and I really enjoy it. The academic members are helpful and always at the students’ service
reall great university experience!!!
Great university! Great experience!
A pretty good place with decent enough food, friendly staff and nice Wifi. I did the history course and almost all my lecturers were nice and helpful. Unfortunately, because the vice chancellor David Bell is a terrible person who has no idea what he's doing, the History course no longer exists. Still, it's a nice place. Not the best but not the worst either.
Its a complete waste of time. I completed my final year project and they have not marked it since 2017. Reasons are that they never listened to our complaints. Supervisors and staffs are very lazy to communicate and lazy to solve our problems. I have list of issues with University of Sunderland. I have screenshots of their email, whatsapp communication, word of mouth and receipts to prove how careless they are. They want money only.
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.
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
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
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.
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
