Sunderland is a friendly and inclusive university, welcoming students from all over the world.

We want our students to thrive and enjoy their time studying with us, therefore, we provide lots of support and encourage our students to make the most of their time at university by getting involved in the many sporting events and social clubs on offer through our Students’ Union.

On campus, we continue to invest heavily in our facilities; from our industry-standard science labs to our very own radio station and media centre, you can expect everything you need to excel in your studies and beyond.
