Sort:Latest reviewsUniversity of Sunderland City campus is a great place. The school is located close to the city center, train station, and bus station which makes it easier for students. I love the environment of the school and its facilities which makes it easy for student. The Gateway is a nice place and I must commend the way the staff at the gateway attend to student issues. The university needs to improve in the aspect of payment of tuition fees for international students as the economy has changed and the cost of living in the UK is expensive. The payment should be more flexible to enable international students meet up.
I’m not a sociable person so I’m unsure

Some of the tutors are lovely and the location is great. The St. Peters Campus in particular is very pretty! The uni also has good resources and is very accepting of students from all backgrounds. That’s all the positives I have, though, unfortunately. Do not attend this university if you have any kind of mental health condition that may affect your ability to study as Sunderland University will not help you. The tutors I had in my foundation year didn’t seem to understand me at all and even seemed mad about my lack of attendance despite knowing my situation. I went round and round in circles trying to get help with the well-being team, only to discover this year that for the past two years, they only had me down for well-being checks, not actual help. I received help from a lovely man this year and I am very grateful for him but unfortunately, these wellbeing sessions are only able to last 8 sessions before you can have no more. I was turned away from disability support due to lack of evidence (despite me having evidence, apparently it wasn’t enough) and they ghosted my emails after that. My time at university has been extremely rough to say the least and I’m still struggling. I feel like my course has been completely rushed and due to mental health reasons that I’ve received no help for, I keep falling behind. This university don’t really care about your well-being or how you’re doing, no matter how much they act like they do.

The environment is friendly and cosy, teachers are friendly and helpful. Campus is easy to get around. I would say the worst aspect is the cost of the food, I thought since I’m a student the food at the cafeteria would be discounted and cheap, but no. It’s nearly 6 pound for a sandwich and drink like what? Maybe lower the prices and give a discount
Very well equipped, friendly, international and helpful
The uni is expanding and the facilities are not. Library is constantly so busy that you cannot get a seat. There is no parking on campus still left if you arrived after 8:30 because there just aren’t enough spaces for all students and staff who drive. Uni is planning to expand further with no expansion in facilities for students.
Helpful mentors. Easy learning environment. Great access to on campus facilities.

Love how my lecturers are paramedics so they can tell us story and give us a good insight of what the job entails. Student life is good everything is so close. Only thing I would improve is for buses to be more regular and for the forge little blue bus to be bigger as it goes to two main accommodations and can only fit max ten people on.
The university’s facilities are really good that gives the opportunity for students to learn a lot of skills needed for their future jobs
The support for students going through a bereavement could be improved.
