Best experience is the hands-on, practical sessions with patients and clinical skills on my course during early first year. All staff are very kind and helpful, student support is great. The worst aspect is technical issues with computers and screens when lecturers are presenting - they happen too often. Also, some lecturers aren’t interactive at all.

The University of Sunderland offers a peaceful and friendly environment that’s perfect for studying. The city itself is calm and not too crowded, making it easier to focus on academic work. I also love that the beautiful coast is just a short walk away, making it the ideal place to relax, enjoy a light breeze, and clear your mind after a long study session. The university also provides excellent student wellbeing support, with initiatives like wellbeing walks and regular events that help students feel connected and supported. My pharmacy course has been of high quality, offering a great balance between practical experience and academic learning, which has really enhanced my confidence and professional skills. One downside is that many stores and food places close quite early, which can be inconvenient for students who study late or need to grab a quick snack or do some last-minute grocery shopping. Having more late-night options around the city would make student life even better.

What’s best about studying in this uni is that there are lots of support you can find, be it at the gateway or personal tutors. People here are relatively nice and friendly Something I’d like to comment on is the lack of proper planning especially for lab works. Lab script procedures can be unclear or the practical work isn’t planned properly to fit the scheduled timing (3 hours). Some demonstrators don’t exactly tell you what you need to do for the lab, they’d only give a safety briefing and let you do it on your own which is understandable because the demonstrators also answer any questions we have. Though I feel that at times, lab isn’t easy because of unclear steps and instructions and we constantly had to ask the demonstrators what it means

Best experience in university is knowing at the end off the course i will come out with a degree to go into helping younger people in their life’s and making them better. The worst experience of university so far is probably the long days.

The university of Sunderland has well structured and quality facilities, including the campus, elevators, automatic doors toilets with good sanitations and maintenance .also facilities alternatives for physical challenged individuals on wheels chairs are provided,the students are well mannered and very civilised,the scenery gives you a sense of purpose. Other things can be improved by encouraging students of different backgrounds to exchange cultural enrichment and online virtual lectures should be simplified for new students

The transport is regular and free (on the bus) with an ID card. As I often have to travel between campuses this is a life saver. The uni is also right next to the shopping centre so it's super easy to pop out for lunch without worrying about being late. Everyone is super friendly which helped me as I get lost a lot but someone was always willing to help me find my class during first year

The university provides lots of support and help to students, there is always someone to guide you in any aspect, staff are all lovely and i have yet to meet any rude or unwelcoming teachers and staff. What i would complain about however is some aspects of my module specifically, it is a bit boring especially with the repeated style of assignments, it would be very nice if our assignments were more practical than written. Over all, i love it here, and would definitely recommend taking part in any open days they have if you plan to study here, it might be helpful to make a final decision.

The campus I'm on is around the city centre, so between lectures I can go to Greggs or primark. Other than that, the teaching staff and student support team are very helpful and supportive, plus the campus itself (both st Peters city campus) have a very nice feel to them. I do have to say though, the food served in the cafe areas are quite pricey, but they do some good paninis. Overall, I highly recommend attending this uni

The University of Sunderland has been a really good experience overall. The best part for me has been how supportive and approachable the lecturers are , they genuinely care and are always willing to help. The university also has a very friendly and diverse community, which makes it easy to feel included and build connections. I’ve also found the library and student support services really useful, especially during busy academic periods. On the other hand, I think it would be great to see more practical industry links and placement opportunities to help students gain real-world experience before graduation. Overall, Sunderland is a great place to study warm, supportive, and full of opportunities to grow both personally and academically.

The Primary Education course at the University of Sunderland is one I would recommend to anyone considering it. The staff are exceptionally hardworking, consistently exceeding expectations to support students. Furthermore, the campus is well organised, easy to navigate and generally is a great place to study.

The University of Sunderland has a really friendly and supportive atmosphere. The lecturers are approachable and always willing to help, and there’s a strong sense of community among students. It’s also great how much the university focuses on practical learning and preparing you for your future career. Worst aspect: Sometimes the timetable or room changes can be a bit confusing, and the campus facilities could be updated in a few areas.

i have had a good experience sunderland, the city campus has a modern feel but we have not had a library available at city campus since the start of the academic year. lecturers provide lots of support and out smaller cohort allows for a better relationship between students and lecturers
