Independence is the key word at uni. You have to do a lot of self study and read many books but the teachers help you a lot so do not hesitate to choose university of sunderland. It is a great city as well. No murderers no crimes and very little noise.
It is a good university. Please come here if you want to find a job easily after graduate. If you want to stay in Europe this is the best University and it even has some language courses that can help you for free.
Accommodation is not good because is always party and noisy so you better want to stay at private house. The courses are good and organized and a lot of presentations are helpful. I love uni because it helps me feel very safe and I can do whatever I want because the classes are not so many
It is a great university and the city is big enough to have fun. We have Bridges which is an amazing place to buy whatever you need and we also have beach and Stadium so if you are bored you can go see a match. Study hard and do not let stress kill you
My advice is to study hard and work harder. University of Sunderland is really close to Newcastle which is a big and amazing city so you can travel to there. It has a lot of facilities so you do not have to worry about anything
It is a really good place to study for your future career. For Psychology students I can recommend this uni as we have a lot of practical lessons and the teachers are really reliable. Be aware of the bad weather and choose the right course
I am really enjoying my uni. It is very easy going , the lecturers are fine and young so they understand you. There are a lot of workshops and presentations and many societies so everyone can integrate. The trips from Connect are really amazing
Always concentrate on your work and do not mess around in university. It will be very hard to catch up even if you try a lot. From my experience I can say it is annoying to revise everything in the last minute so be aware of this fact
A great university with excellent staff and facilities, very good atmosphere here! There are minor problems but can be solved.
My uni experience has been very productive since I've been learning useful things to my future career and life. I would advice people to come if they are looking to focus on their actual uni and not student life
My experience at the University of Sunderland has been very good. The students and staff are very accomodationg and helpful. Students who wish to come here I would say it's worth it and an unforgettable experience to have
I am really enjoying uni and would advise people to look carefully at how courses are examned whether its exams or coursework bused on what's good for them. Just be careful at exams and workshops don't mess it around too much
Really enjoying to make a lots of new friends! Would definately reccomend university to others but not this one! Sunderland uni is not that great has lack of facilities and night life is bad
Yes, the courses are very well seen and the staff are very helpful. Only thing I would change doesn't really have anything to do with the courses but food and drink prices a bit expensive for students with no job!!!!
Uni experience for me personally has been good so far. The most important thing is to be really interested/passionate about the course you wanna do in uni. The rest is like other new places: new people, new friends , new life.
Try to go to an open event to look around the uni, talk to lecturers and students. I am really enjoying my time at uni due tot making new friends, learning something new and being independent.
It's a lot of fun. They need to good on their foundation or else it will be hard to catch up. Study from college before come here. If you come, study from first class it will be hard to remember everything while revise if not learned.!
Hreat and woderful experience while in Sunderland.Everything is new and cool but Newcastle is better . Is bigger. Anyway you have free bus and metro so you can travel a lot so is amazing
It's the same. Know your roots and remember where you come from! Be sure about your choices and don't try to seem interesting in front of other people. Be aware that you might find racists but it's ok.Not everyone is like that


Studying pharmacy in University of Sunderland is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The greatest thing about it is that most lecturers are practising pharmacists and they are very professional, approachable and passionate about teaching! We are groomed to be very patient-focused as well as having great clinical and communication skills. Pharmacy labs and library facilities are fully equipped !!
