Sort:Latest reviewsFor my course, (film production) the access to equipment is amazing, the tutors are great they’re friendly and helpful. The nightlife in Sunderland is okay, however I have friends in Newcastle and I spend all my nights out over there.
Lovely university. Friendly and helpful
Nice teachers and great facilities

It’s very welcoming and friendly- not too big that you feel overwhelmed about where your lectures are meant to be and it’s easy to nagivate
The people are beautiful and a nice quite place to be would love if some of the events where more heard of or better advertised, had a really big struggle getting across the help team when trying to solve a probelm
Excellent experience, support, facilities and course! I absolutely love it. I have always been fully supported when I need it.
bad
Sunderland uni has a great team for stydent support if ever needed I used them in my second year and they helped me so much through the process. Maybe lower the prices in the cafes
I love all of the facilities and activities that the uni has to offer as the great people I have met while studying here. No negative comments
Extending opening hours of the library again, having a more interactive student union. Apply a hybryd online/campus style for students who have had too move out of Sunderland due to safetu issues. The University needs to be more sympathetic towards students circumstances and understand we are students but also customers some staff members etc. Act as if we are not paying for.this learning
All the staff are so friendly and the campus I’m on is beautiful, quiet and right next to the river so its so pretty. Not for my campus as its quite quiet however I’ve heard the parking at City Campus can get quite crowded and sometimes people find parking difficult.
Sound teaching Student friendly Profession focused
Overall an outstanding uni with great staff who want to help you achieve!
More practical lessons to prepare for placements.
to improve the uni should have more parking for students and better service for the buses

The campus is easily accessible and welcoming. Staff are great and I feel really supported.
I think that there needs to be more support and inclusion for such as transgender and non-binary students; they are still made to wear their dead names around their neck on their IDs everyday and I think this is massively innapropriate and an outdated system
Very friendly All staff are welcoming Good facilities and library services

Both campus is close to panns/scotia accommodation.
It is very hands on with a lot of course contact.
The wi-fi is not very good but the location is good
