The lecturers are great because they know exactly what they are talking about which makes the course easier to understand. The only negative I can comment on about the university would be the fact I live in Newcastle so the drive is quite far!
Decent study environment however not the easiest to get to as i live an hour away travel wise and can be very tiring getting here for morning lecturers.
Course is really engaging with nearly all my course being on campus learning instead of online. Lecturers are really helpful and encourage students to ask for help and always show they are willing to help and give feedback. Frequently asked if there is any problems on the course at all, and if ones are brought forward such as not receiving grades for a long time it is chased up and acted upon.
Great facilities, lots of people, great teachers that are approachable
I definitely think the uni has a great friendly feel to it and the resources that can be used to help you develop on your course are outstanding. Lecturers are amazing ay understanding any issues you may be having. The uni could be improved by making student more aware of where they can go for help if there struggling as sometimes its not always clear wheres the best place and person to talk to.
The lecturers are really easy to talk to and it’s very easy to get help when you are struggling.
Uni course is really good, the lecturers are experienced and offer a lot of support. Sunderland as a city is an interesting place to study - it isn't the best student city but there are also worse places to live. More investment in the city and slowly making the uni bigger will improve the student experience

Staff are super friendly and helpful, the riverside location is gorgeous but can have you feeling anxious about flooding through winter time
The course is engaging and the university provides so many opportunities for students.However, facilities such as microwaves, kettles and heating is lacking within certain buildings
Good diversity and welcoming, attentive lectures and great support

Great location, lots of facilities available
It is clear to get to however I think more could be done to support students and potentially more monitoring
More car parking spaces
staff are great
Lovely
No worst part for now just that is about the balance school fees please the deadline is very close if it can be extended. Thanks
The University of Sunderland is a great uni and I have received lots of support from tutors within my course primary education with QTS. The nightlife at the uni is pretty good and is also not far to travel into Newcastle city centre as well. Overall i am really happy that a decided to study at Sunderland as i feel that the uni is very welcoming and support compared to others in the area.

I like the support that has been provided by teachers and peers
I prefer blended teaching. It saves time and energy. I feel less tired when online learning
