Sort:Latest reviewsI really love the staff here at Sunderland. Everyone is very friendly and wants you to succeed. The campus is centrally located and has great facilities. If I had to pick something to improve it would be to increase the options of transportation between campuses.
Try to make student engaging environments and helping hands to create job opportunities.
The environment of Sunderland, the lecturer's helping behaviour, and the location overall attract everyone
There’s nothing specific but I just don’t 100% adore it where there wouldn’t be stuff it could improve on generally but that would be the same for any uni really. One thing that baffles me about the campus though is that we had a new building built specifically for Primary Education students and I’ve only had maybe 1 or 2 lectures there? Also it’s a full time course but there’s no need for it to be…I feel like it’s just like that to get as much money from each student as possible.. And as far as looks go, we are based on the riverside near the sea and I can’t for the life of me work out why they’ve put wooden cladding on most of the buildings because it’s relatively new but looks absolutely minging because it’s always damp haha. As I said, there’s probably some more stuff that could be improved but those few bits stand out to me. As far as the course goes that’s far too broad for me to have any strong opinion about a specific area. Perhaps the only thing I would say is that some lectures are a bit repetitive and I would prefer if it was less theory more practical? I’m not sure
Friendly atmosphere Cheaper parking
Their teaching method are great.
So far I have yet to encounter any bad aspects of this university, the professors are very good at breaking down and explaining the topics. I am very happy to have the opportunity to study at the university of Sunderland.

Excellent place to study
Best-its easy making new friends of all ages Worst-getting to the university due to far travel
The university is an excellent place for studies and extra caricullar activities. A place which is so welcoming that you don't even feel like you're in a different country. Apart from the warm welcome, there's loads of activities which help make friends and do other fun things. There's Pizza nights, weekly wellbeing hikes and so much more. In terms of education, all the subjects are very well taught and every class is interactive and interesting. I believe coming to the university of Sunderland was a great choice. There's not much I can say against the uni, as I've only had good experiences so far, but just for the sake of it, maybe the uni can work on the speed of getting things repaired around the campus. Everything is already quite amazing.
Seperate building for psychology department
Best university ever.
I rated my experience poorly because students frequently have to deal with issues that should be handled by faculty. For example, when supervisors are unavailable, the faculty is aware but does not take proactive steps. I had to step in and enquire about the lack of communication, only to be told that the supervisor would be unavailable during the submission period and that I should switch to another supervisor. The faculty's lack of support and communication creates unnecessary challenges for the students.
Great help from tutor and meet new friends and great place to study
As an apprentice working full time too and a long way from Uni site don’t get all benefits of the campus or student life
Its very good
The lecturers are brilliant and are always ready to help
The University of Sunderland in London offers an affordable and flexible education in a central London location, making it ideal for cost-conscious and working professionals. Students appreciate the diverse and supportive environment, with approachable lecturers and a multicultural campus. However, the campus facilities are modest, administrative processes can be slow, and social activities are limited compared to traditional universities. While teaching quality is generally good, some feel the academic rigor could be improved. It's a practical choice for those focused on career-oriented education rather than a traditional campus experience.

The lecturers are all amazing, they’re great teachers and amazing at supporting the students with their studies. I love the way the campus looks, it’s very pretty and has all the facilities you could ever need as a student
The best is the how much the lecturers care about their students, as well as the wide content that is available for the modules. There is also a great help on canvas that is always available to us. The worst part is the prices and lack of variety in the cafeteria in the university.
