Sort:Latest reviewsUniversity can be a great place to study for several reasons: 1. Diverse Learning Environment: Universities bring together students from various backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives, which enriches the learning experience and fosters a sense of community. 2. Access to Resources: They offer a wealth of resources, including libraries, laboratories, and research facilities, as well as access to knowledgeable faculty who are experts in their fields. 3. Networking Opportunities: Universities provide opportunities to connect with peers, professors, and industry professionals, which can be invaluable for future career prospects. 4. Personal Growth: The university experience often encourages personal development, critical thinking, and independence, helping students grow both academically and personally. To improve the university experience, institutions could: 1. Enhance Support Services: Providing better mental health services and academic support can help students navigate challenges more effectively. 2. Increase Flexibility in Learning: Offering more online and hybrid courses can accommodate different learning styles and life situations. 3. Strengthen Industry Connections: Building stronger partnerships with businesses can create more internship and job opportunities for students. 4. Encourage Inclusivity: Fostering an inclusive environment where all students feel valued and supported can enhance the overall experience.
The well equipped facilities like the library.computer labs makes studying easy and less stressful. Staff are always willing to help whenever you encounter a challenge! I think there should be more books accessible online.
I think it’s a good uni, with a strong pharmacy program. The professors are nice and try to help as much as they can. The weather is a bit of a let down though.
Teachers are very friendly as well as helpful.
The location where the university is located is very great
Good teacher
I'm so happy with University of Sunderland.I met new people, teachers are very helpful. I developed my knowledge and skills.
Friendly atmosphere in all aspects of the university Everyone has been so helpful about supported with fantastic learning facilities required for my course
Course is really interesting and I feel suitably challenged and engaged. What I do find a massive let down is the lack of disabled facilities, particularly in the Priestman Building. You have closed down the cafe which is absolutely ludicrous- and have left no facilities to allow students to store chilled food, access hot water for drinks and have one tiny microwave for the entire building. The vending machines need to be converted to card operated, and there needs to be more offered than crisps, chocolate and pop. The hot drinks machine is unpalatable - look at getting Starbucks or Costa in as an alternative. Gateshead College have Starbucks so I don’t see why it can’t be done here as well. The seating area is not big enough and I have found myself in a situation where there is nowhere to sit, which as a person with disabilities this is an essential requirement inbetween lectures. This is really unacceptable and the university needs to do more to make this a more inclusive break out space. Similarly in CitySpace there are no express queues for people with disabilities and this also causes a barrier for people who cannot stand for long. Do better.
The Lectures really care about their job and want to as much as they can for the students. Classrooms can often be left in a nasty manner, beard hair and empty sweet packets all over the desks. But that is down to people understanding culture and respect.

Positives: *It's close to the bus station, so I don't have to walk far *Staff are nice *It feels secure Negatives: *Sometimes we're in different rooms and we aren't told *If we forget something we learned, we have to watch a video, which may make things more confusing *There might be times in lesson where you have nothing to do
Parking charges have increased ridiculously and I feel sorry for those students that are full time. Some lecturers have been more helpful than others. I feel like doing the apprenticeship I learn more at work than I do at university.
The facilities that they provide to the students are amazing. However, I would really appreciate if they provided a little more options for Post Graduate Studies and more scholarships.
Everything is going good
It is friendly environment and teacher are also friendly and kind

First gen student
The facilities and location of city campus are great, the shuttle bus is a big help too from st peters campus which is a beautiful campus too. the library staff are super helpful however the food is quite expensive on campus.
We don't get enough seats while on class
It is the best experience and new I have more opportunity
Most of the staff are so supportive but it's a shame that they come and go so quickly. The price rise of car parking is the worse thing cause you now have to choose when is best to go in as a student you can't always afford to attend

Staff are supportive and will do extra tutorials if needed.
The course is taught in person with theory and simulation sessions, coupled with self-study. It is good that theory is complemented with practical simulation. PCPIs are an excellent addition.
The property was central and convenient as a location
