Sort:Latest reviewsThe best aspect in my opinion is how diverse the university is. I have made so many lovely friends with people from all kinds of wonderful cultures; it gave me a better perspective and understanding of the world and I even learned to do things their way instead of my way, which was sometimes much more efficient. The worst aspect was that occasionally the WiFi may let you down, however technology fails us all somtimes and it isn't a problem unique to the university. All and all my experience here has never made me feel more at home with strangers and taught me a better perspectove in life, and I'm only 4 months into first year!
Considering how much we pay we don't spend a lot of time actually in uni, however the lectures are amazing.
The best experience was my lectures because the teacher was good at getting all of us students to communicate and work together. Worst part is just travelling to uni from my home because it is quite far!
The university staff is kind of no respectful towards students ( no teaching team ) especially reception, securities some of the 4th floor people

Best experience is I can get a laptop loan
The events organised by uni for students was really good which helped me to get a good exposure
Good support
The University of Sunderland is a fantastic place to study, combining the energy of London with a supportive and personalised academic experience. With a few enhancements, it has the potential to become even more outstanding and transformative for its students. While the support services are excellent, the university could expand its mental health resources. Increasing the number of counselors and offering more workshops on well-being could further assist students in managing the pressures of academic life.
Staff are amazing and supportive. Only downside is parking price as it has went to £6 a day and as a parent to five children it is an unnecessary spend as it was previously £1.30
Good and lovely university
I currently spend lots of time in the downstairs lab/classroom in the David Goldman Informatics Centre. I am part of a large class, where everyone requires a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Sadly, there isn't enough equipment for everybody (a vital part of the module, where we are tested on our use of the tools) and I quite often end up without a PLC. On the other hand, it is in a great location for public transport.
Motivating Atmosphere
A nice University with friendly people and an amazing location! Very good and organized teachers and staff!
Staff at the university are amazing and really help you out if you are struggling with exams, coursework etc. The facilities are amazing and makes you feel very welcome. I haven’t had much experience at this university campus as u have spend my first 2 years at a college with a partnership for my Foundation degree but with it being my first year i am enjoying it a lot and i am not nervous anymore.

The University of Sunderland in London offers modern facilities, expert support, and practical courses focused on business and career development.
The best in my opinion is that tutors are always there if we have any enquire. Worst is that some classes are a little small and when a lot of students attend, it is too much.
4.3
All of my lecturers and every member of staff I’ve met are incredibly friendly and open to helping me and my course mates on anything we struggle with. They continually go above and beyond to ensure we get the most out of university and hit the marks we need to progress. I think the facilities are probably the poorest part overall that the university itself can influence. In my opinion, the student life being quite meh is just down to the city of Sunderland itself being quite quiet but for me that was a positive because I don’t like crowded and bustling cities and prefer the relaxed vibe. Facilities are quite small and limited, it feels like some days you can’t get a good booking for study rooms etc but I understand sometimes this is because a different cohort has exams.
I’ve never come away from a lecture or seminar wondering how it’s relevant, lecturers always make it very clear which parts we need to know to understand a specific part of pharmacy. Even in my chemistry module which can get quite abstract in terms of being very maths or physical chemistry oriented, lecturers always tell us how it’s important to pharmacy or pharmacology such as how pH calculations help us in predicting drug behaviours in the body. I haven’t yet went on placement but all the pre available information is very high quality and my module lead for my pharmacy practice module is very helpful in answering any questions or sign posting who I can ask about any further queries.
