Sunderland University is a great place to study. The lecturer's on my degree are fantastic and always ready to help and support students and I would even say go above and beyond for students. The campus food can be quite expensive so that would be my area for improvement.
For someone who commutes to university having to use my maintenance loan to cover the costs for my fuel, insurance, road tax, etc. i find that some of the prices in the university too expensive, the parking, the food prices and to be apart of a sports team. The media building classrooms are too small for the class sizes making it feel stuffy and warm making it hard to concentrate. Also having to pay for printing off at the university. However, some good parts of the university are the courses and the lecturers, the community you get when joining a club. the campus is very tidy and well looked after.

I'm great full that I have choosen our university. It's ranked as the best pharmacy university and top of the guardian university in uk. I am enjoying my student life here.
Sunderland Uni is a great place to study, the support you get is amazing. The location of my campus is great and easy accessible. The library services have helped me a lot through uni and the facilities in the library is great there's always something to use. Only thing I'd say is that a lot of the student activities I've seen in during the day (especially fresher and first year information) which if you work alongside studies it is difficult to participate in.
I really like my course and what entails, along with my lecturers, plus the library, refectory and cafe are nice spaces. However, the cost of food on the campus is incredibly high and, paired with the cost of travel struggle to afford it on the days that I am in. Furthermore, the classrooms and space in the media building is pretty depressing. A lot of the rooms are plain white walls with no windows and there aren't any communal spaces. I've also had a lot of problems with the equipment store, mainly issues with booking the equipment and problems with the equipment itself. This has had an effect on my projects within my modules.
The best aspects was being able to meet new friends and especially connect with the people in my course. An improvement could be improving the interconnectedness of different courses at events, this is because as a medic its very easy to get stuck in a medic bubble and not meet many people off your course
The campus is nice but it is really small
Best the support of the teachers and believing in the students Worst is the cost of parking
Staff are very supportive and helpfull and kind. The programme is the best I've seen

I'm consistently impressed by their politeness and helpfulness around not only the classroom but the entire school. They're a fantastic representation of a well-behaved, respectful and courteous student. This student has a great sense of humor. Every day, they're able to ensure that the entire class has a laugh.
honestly its just pretty great as it is
Location is easy to access as I live in Gateshead and it is walking distance from a metro line. Campus is always clean, tidy, warm, and feels comfortable. I haven't used student support often but when i have they have been very helpful and responsive. Library facilities and staff are always friendly and helpful. I couldnt comment on students union as I have not needed to use it.
It's location is in cannery wolf which is best place for business
The lecturers are amazing and always ready to help. I love the school environment and haven’t had any bad experiences so far.
Beautiful Location: Sunderland University is located near the river, which creates a peaceful and inspiring environment to study in. Walking along the riverside is great for relaxing between classes. • Supportive Foundation Year: The foundation year is excellent for building confidence and ensuring you’re well-prepared for the main degree. The tailored support helps students transition smoothly into university life. • Modern Facilities: The labs and equipment for electronic and electrical engineering are up-to-date and make practical learning enjoyable. • Friendly Community: The university has a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff and students are supportive and approachable. Areas for Improvement: • Practical Industry Exposure: There could be more opportunities to connect with local industries or take part in hands-on projects related to electronic and electrical engineering. • Campus Facilities: While the location is beautiful, some areas of the campus, like study spaces or catering facilities, could be expanded or modernized. • Student Support: Academic and career support services could be improved to better help students with job placements and internships.
The learning experience is flawless. Make sure to learn about the city before you come. Sunderland is a small but lovely city, someone like myself who likes quietness loves it here.

Environment is really good and the lecturer are really supportive and helpful. Especially when it comes to your assignment if we need any kind of help they are always there to help us . But being a student I feel we need more extra curricular activities by doing this we don’t feel bore or feel we are only studying every time no fun activities
Lecturer are always on time when the class start even if it is online or in class
