English Literature and Creative Writing - BA (Hons)

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.

NORTH EAST ENGLAND

If Sunderland's student reviews could be boiled down to three words, those words would be friendly, welcoming and affordable. The academic staff get a lot of shout outs for being super supportive and willing to go the extra mile to help students in need. Facilities are well reviewed as well, and there are several mentions of free travel options between campuses and accommodations.
