I have thoroughly enjoyed my University experience as a mature student I was worried I would not fit in but as the course progressed my confidence grew. I have come out with so many life long friends.
It has been life changing in the best way. I have met amazing people along the way and boosted my confidence so much since beginning the course. The opportunities that the university have given me has allowed me to push myself to achieve more than I thought I would, I couldn't be more grateful to the lecturers and to the university for that.
I have struggled fitting into uni and found it harder than i expected but i am settled in now. I think it is hard as a mature student when you are nearly twice the age of the kids and havent been in education for 20 years.
That's really an excellent university experience for me! University has provide a lot of the opportunities and activities for students which can help them improve in their CV. For example, Student Ambassador, Student Representative, officer of Student Union etc. They also provide the career and employability service. Students are able to get advice and guidance of CV, covering letter or application from a trained professional adviser! It's really a 'Life Changing' for me!
Teaching hit and miss. University has good opportunities for career prospects but not very focused on mature students. Wish I had chosen a different course that was more suited to my chosen career. Think Open Days are a great idea but I didnt make the most of mine
I enjoy studying at the University of Sunderland. It has great reputation for its pharmacy course. Excellent staff, facilities and city! It is truly life changing! Secured a job before I graduate!
Love the uni, love the course, some fab tutors, love my new friends on the course. Made a brilliant choice coming to Sunderland! Night life is good in Sunderland but I prefer Newcastle
Uni is nice and the life here is amazing. Little to do in the city but you can take the metro and go to NewCastle everyday. The night life is nice in the week time and weekend is very busy. The courses are ok but take care what course you choose first as you might get disappointed once you start the one that doesn't fit your expectations
Sunderland courses are amazing as it prepares the students for a better career. The tutors are always friendly and helpful whenever you need help. The facilities are great as Sunderland is a very modern university. City Space provides its students with a lot of sport activities for a cheap price. The city is small but its full of usefull venues as well. I love my uni and I would reccommend it to everyone
I love the socialising aspect, great societies and nightlife. The facilities are just amazing and Sunderland can provide you with many social events as well. The lectures here are awesome. Diverse people Uni live isn't hard, you just have to put yourself out there to get the best. Everything you need is nearby.
University of Sunderland really changed me as a person. I used to be very shy and didn't want to talk to new people but after Freshers where you meet so many people it becomes natural. My advice is for people not to worry like I did before i got to university - you will have a great time.
My experience in the uni of sunderland is amazing. My advice would be to get out there and join as many clubs as you can. Also make sure you come to Sunderland for sure because the courses are really good, everyone is friendly and it's a great place to spend 3 great years.
The uni is just fantastic. i love every single course and my module provides me with a lot of practical work shops. \\we have to make new clothes and also learn how to see it to potential customers. The tutors are very young and friendly and the staff is amazing. I love the fact that we can travel for free in the city and take the metro as well. i would reccommend this uni to everyone
My uni has a lot to offer. It is great to see all the people welcoming you everyday and the respectable staff around. Very modern university with a lot of societies and clubs anyone could join. I improved my english skills very much these few years in Uk and had the chance to find jobs
Studying automative science, it's pretty decent out here. City life is boring in here. The facilities are very good. I haven't joined any societies or whatsoever. Students union is ok and the support services are slow but responsive. Overall rating 3.
The staff is very friendly, kind and the teachers are very knowledgeable. The computers, i can look at an e-book online, it also improved my professional English skills/ I hope i will work in a college in the future. I also have a group of presentation work with my classmate which will kinda allow me to take a huge opportunity regarding a job
Whilst being at the university i have used the councilling service and the personal statement service and bot have given me the outcome needed. My overall experience has been challenging but i have felt as though i could get support. Joining uni clubs has meant that i could talk and meet new friends. My uni did not make me feel as though i could go enywhere but the facilities at the university helped me recognise i could.
The facilities for my PG are a lot better than when i did my UG here. The university did not own half of my reading lift. as for the library i think murray library is small in size and there has been times where you can not work there as there is no room. I joined rowing in my UG course and Joining the society has meant that i have gained a new hobby and new friends. I also joined badminton but i did not feel as though the coaches were teaching me fairly being the only girl in the club at that time
4.3
I have enjoyed it been good to leave home and have fun and the staff at the university are all very friendly and easy to contact. The students all make you feel welcome as well
Good not too busy but not too quite
