The university is decent and the the teachers are really supportive. The City is quiet and charming in it's own way, the only disadvantage is that almost everything closes at 5. The facilities are decent. Clubs and societies are ok. Student's Union and support services are responsive and helpful.
learn m ore, knowledge professional . SHopping is great around here. The library facilities are amazing. No clubs and societies i have joined so far.I love the independent learning experience. And also the opportunities to get a part tim ejob
Very good teacher and lecturers. I enjoy the University here in Sunderland. I dislike that every shop closes at 5PM. The university facilities are alright a bit outdated I would say. The clubs are ok. Student's Union and support services are mediocre. Job prospects: it's improbable that I would find a job in Sunderland...but who knows ? An overall rating would be 3. Come to Sunderland if you like a cheap city to live in and decent education.
I think they offer a wide range of societies, i have not attended to one of them, cause i am only staying for few months...But the course and lectures are nice and engaging. I advice you stay in halls
The course and lectures teach me comprehensive knowledge. There are shopping malls, international airport, clubs and metros. The building is good , many facilities is new.
I enjoy the practical side of the counselling and the statistics in psychological research. Facilities clean. Computers good easily to use. We eat and go the cinema-me and my friends. The services seem good but i';ve not used any. The economy is terrible but i think if it was better, my degree would help. I enjoy the learning and the friends i;ve made.
Not much lessons- I don't like it. Going to party os good. It should make facilities more interesting in campus. I joined the Sunderland Chinese society. I love the student union events and the free transport in the city. Good support made me enjoy it so far.
Not much lesson in a week- bad for our future. Clubbing is awesome in Sunderland and I like the CSO society here. The student union is friendly and nice. I like that the uni offers us free transport by bus and in the 1st year by metro. I feel so good with friends here. To find a job after is quite hard i think but its worth it
Good university I love it because there are many chinese people here so I can talk freely to them. I improved my English very much this year and I am thankful. I love the city so much it feels like a community, a family. The lecturers are just great
Lectures communication and the content is great. Good shops around the city makes your life easier. Food and refreshments all to be the same price and more reasonable price for students would have to be improved. Haven't joined any of the clubs because I have got no time to do it but I've heard they are great.Disability service is brilliant!
My course is very interestng and the choice in modules varies so much you''' always find something you want to learn more about. I love to go shopping and the campus and accommodation is so close to the shopping center so I can go when I've finished classes every day. Facilities such as toilets , food and drink, libraries are all brilliant. Won't need improvement-very modern already.I have loved my experience at university and i am so glad I chose sunderland. I've made a lot of good friends
I really like the lectures-they are very informative. I love cityspace. It's great to have such a nice fitness facility on campus. Adive-go to the beach. I am part of the study abroad program. I don't know much about SU but the events they've put on have been great. I think uni will prepare me well for employment in the uk and back home in the US.
The module we study is interesting. The facilities are great and they always keep the system updated. I love going to gigs/concerts around city. I join some of the Media Hub websites. I'm disappointed of SU-think they could do more to help us. Tutors are always available and the jobs after graduation are easier to find if i get a degree from here
Very interesting. However some information regularly repeated in courses. I like shopping in the city. The facilities are great! I have yet to join some clubs or societies but they don't look that interesting.SU is good. The support provided to students is very helpful with finance/work load. Uni is interesting, fun so far and its good to be doing something you're passionate about.
The lectures are made interesting, as the points they make are unlike to everyday news stories. The range of shops are good enough for what I need. There is very good nightlife especially during the week. There could be better tables that are stable in the prospect building.
A mixture of practical based work and academic study-means i can learn the valuable skills needed to become a top journalist and apply them to my study. Great facilities allowing me to practice the skills needed and gain experience in all sort of media. Prospect is a great place to socialise and work. I like to shop-is a great social activity. I joined the dance club- great way to socialize, meet new people and keep fit.
Very spectacular lectures, interesting topics and choise for work experience. Good Media facilities and Media support. I'm part of the FASHION NORTH team. I don't have much to do with Student Union. I enjoy my life here but is a bit stressful.
The best thing about my course is thar you can gain real experience and helpful skills. The facilities are good, could be a few more computers and more compatible printers, but the facilities are at the whole great. I enjoy only cinema clubs because I have little time. To be honest, I don't hear much about Student Union. I don't know anything about uni support as I've never looked into it. Is very hard to get a job after university- economics means that it will always be about earning money and never about personal satisfaction. Fees are very expensive so I'm a little more critical.
Sunderland is just amazing for me. I feel confident that as long as im willing to do the work and work as hard as i can then they will do all they can to help me pass my course. I also became more independent these months. Don't leave work up until the last minute though


The University is alright, I like the program and the and the lecturers here. Nothing really seems to happen in this city and there is nothing to do. The uni facilities are OK, the food is expensive. The clubs are ok. Student's union is boring the do the same things every year. Support ? none when they are asked they don't know or it's not their responsibility, it takes them 3 days to print a paper. Big mistake coming here there are better universities.
