First gen student
The uni itself is great and every staff member on my course is really helpful even with circumstances that might affect aspects of your study. The only down side from my course is the computers aren’t the best for our animation/modelling programming as sometimes they’ll crash.
The best is student support department always reply my question although is is not about the university. The worst is that University has too few accommodation. This is difficult for international student to find good accommodation because they do not know about this city
The university and the teachers are great. It could have a gym and sports facilities in St. Peter's Campus and not only in the university downtown. Also, there is not much to do in Sunderland, I don't like the city.
Teaching has been great from the start, the ability to find new friends was difficult at the start but has become a lot easier through the use of sport groups.
The support given to students is wonderful However the prices on food are alot
The lecturers are really supportive and helpful!
Nice environment conducive for students, but the challenges is students not been supported mental and otherwise
I really like the facilities like the library however sometimes they are really busy and not enough room for everyone Think the food is also great Teaching and student support has got better this year but during covid I felt it was non existent
Lots of study spaces and great facilities for practicing
Friendly Be more inclusive of BAME backgrounds
Best experience: the staff, being so helpful and available Worse experience: I don’t have any
Great environment helpful staff
The support from teachers and peers is amazing. There is a real sense of belonging at Sunderland university and always somewhere to turn to for advice, help, or information. One thing that could be improved is the Murray library, the space is not that visually appealing and could definitely have a better layout. Maybe more private pods for example, and a better layout for books and literature.
Good place to study, great support from academic staff and wellbeing. Only gripe is that the cafe often don’t have milk alternatives and do not accept cash.
The campus is central and the buildings are close together if you need to travel between them. There's multiple public transport options between all the accommodations and the two campuses.
University Of Sunderland is great place to study, because of the number of facilities and great professors ....
The best aspects are that you meet wonderful teachers and students and you can get along with them well The worst aspect is that exams are after Christmas when I think it’s better if they were before Christmas
The well-being support is fantastic.
Amazing campus, excellent facilities, excellent lecturers and top quality services.
4.3
I love the nursing facilities that are available, I also love the staff who teach us our lectures. I feel like more support could be given by the lectures actually looking at our work and giving us advice on it before submitting instead of having to book into the library all of the time for help with work. Other than that, the university has been amazing
