Sort:Latest reviewsI feel like some subjects had too many lectures to cover one topic while others had less and should of had more.
Best aspects of my uni experience: The staff and teachers are very approachable, and the student-to-teacher ratio is excellent, making it easy to get support when needed. The library facilities are modern, and the campus has a welcoming feel overall. There are also some great societies and clubs for students to join. Worst aspects of my uni experience: The gym is too small, especially during peak hours, making it hard to get a proper workout. Club and gym prices are quite high for students on a budget. For sports, if you don’t make the first team, you’re often forced to leave after the first session without any follow-up training or opportunities to join a second team. This leaves many students unable to stay involved in sports. There are also not enough prayer rooms across campus. For example, the Murray Library could really use one, and it would be helpful to have a dedicated prayer space in every main building for convenience. **Suggestions for improvement:** - Expand the gym or improve the scheduling to accommodate more students during busy times. - Lower gym and club fees or offer student discounts. - Create more inclusive sports opportunities by establishing second or casual teams with ongoing training sessions. - Increase the number of prayer rooms across campus to make facilities more accessible to everyone.

Is a good place to learn
The location is good.
Great lecture pattarn, great syllabus, poor bus service, buses always delaying
never incounter nagative aspects, very well supported from tutors.
Not getting support from tutors
I think the St Peter’s Location is a great choice as it is scenic and it’s not too far away from the city centre or Seaburn so it’s handy when on breaks. The Law facilities are good, like the mooting court and the Law Clinic. The lecture rooms are pretty basic just a few interactive whiteboards and teachers relaying the information from the PowerPoints. The workshops are very good for practical skills. The hybrid learning (some online and in person) is handy for flexibility. I haven’t interacted much with the student union because I’ve never heard anything about them or what they do.
Something that could be improved- Price of parking, price of food in cafe - due to the price of parking sometimes we cannot afford to have lunch because we know we already have spent too much on parking. Sometimes the toilets do not have all of them working. Makes it hard for the whole university to share 3 toilets. Positives - Lecturers are all lovely and kind people, that you know you can go over to and ask for help or advice. Good location because of the shops nearby.
Education system is good and teacher's teaching methods is very unique and excellent.
Studying Business Management at the University of Sunderland has been an incredible experience. The vibrant Student Union organizes engaging events and provides endless opportunities to connect with fellow students. Campus life is dynamic, with modern facilities like state-of-the-art libraries, well-equipped study spaces, and comfortable communal areas. The stunning riverside campus combines scenic beauty with a professional atmosphere, creating the perfect learning environment. Located in a friendly, affordable city, the university is well-connected and easy to navigate. Student support services are exceptional, offering academic guidance, mental health resources, and career advice that truly make a difference. Sunderland University feels like a home away from home.
My university is a great place to study because of its excellent faculty, well-equipped facilities, and supportive community. The diverse range of extracurricular activities also makes it easy to balance academics with personal growth. However, one area of improvement could be having more morning classes instead of late afternoon.
We are learning very interesting and important things
The uni provides the best facilities and tutors. Even though the university is facing a financial crisis, the uni takes care of each and every student. There is nothing bad or worst about the uni for me.
Parking is horrendously expensive. Some rooms and buildings are dated and could do with a revamp. Food is extortionate and basic. Coffee shops only open in main campus buildings.
I've liked that the Univerdity is nice and chilled everyone gets on fine however not much to do apart from going there to study
The teachers are really helpful and I like how they support the students . Everyone is helpful from the staff .
Teachers are good, study is good but nobody listen about international student problem, no body help them, no student union
The best part of the university is location ( Canary wharf) which is business hub of Europe and worst part is university had very conjugated place for students but in overall university is really nice .
4.3
The best aspect must be a good learning environment for students and the worst will be some lecturers are boring.
Well my course is quite good I am satisfied with my studies.
