Really enjoying it, loved meeting new people and enjoying the course. Learning lots of new things and theory behind practical things. I’m really enjoying it a lot.
So far it has been brilliant. I have enjoyed the learning again after a very long break from education. I am enjoying testing myself and seeing what I am capable of
Now it’s the teaching weeks very good lectures seminars and workshops are very well planned and thought about relevant to the course. Place is really friendly.
Impressed with how it is has gone so far, enjoy attending lectures and completing practical lessons.
Going well enjoying it so far.
Very professional , mixture of young and older people. No n. Hi. You.
I’ve loved it and making friends. My tutors are helpful and the course is interesting. I’m looking forward to the rest of my my time at Sunderland university.
My experience has been very good at the university. The lectures are very helpful with any problems and they introduce students to what university life is like well.
So far it’s been good with loads of different topics and information covered. The facilities are good and the lecturers are friendly. The gateway and learning support is very helpful for new students
Overall disappointment in organisation but the Course itself is good but elements let it down. Lack of communication to expand, facilities are excellent, especially the Shackleton house. Student support services are friendly and very helpful
It’s quite good for the time being. Still have a lot to learn , as I am a new student. I love the seminars the labs and also the way we are being treated . However we seem to have so many assignments that we eventually don’t have time.
My overall Experience was shockingly disappointing. I came from Newcastle College and the support there was absolutely amazing. This Uni offers the complete opposite experience. I did not receive an introduction into the available machines, even though I asked for that multiple times. I am working as a graphic designer for an international company and there was no support or understanding for that what so ever. As well as that the tutors did not make any effort in getting to know the new students or making them feel welcome there.
great and fun they listen and help us. to have fun and not take things to serious.
It has been pleasant and informative. I had no idea what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities and staff. I would recommend to anyone who wants to try.
I really like it. It's very multicultural. I would recommend it for people who like to have a balance between life and education.
Very good & actually life changing. I feel like a different person and i have changed for the better, ive gained independence and confidence that i never thought I would have.
Information is great but we could be in more days.
Good value for money friendly and helpful staff


The experience overall, has been enlightening. I’ve learnt more in the past few weeks than in previous years of education. Diversity has been key. I love it here
