About us

We’re proud… to be a top 50 UK university (Guardian University Guide, 2023), of our top-quality facilities, our inclusive culture, and our vibrant, ever-changing city. You’ll experience the best of both worlds if you come to study at Sunderland, with our two campuses nestled within the heart of the city, but just a stone’s throw away from the stunning coast and countryside of the North East.

We might be a small city, but we’re friendly too, and we’ve got plenty to offer in the way of student life. No matter where you’re coming from, you’ll receive a warm welcome at Sunderland. Our students are at the forefront of everything we do and we’re here to help you succeed. Your time at Sunderland will shape who you are and what you do for the rest of your life and our career-focused, professions-facing courses will ensure you have a head start.

What makes us different

We're a top 50 university according to the Guardian University Guide 2023, having risen 42 places compared to the previous year.
Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do and we were recently named University of the Year for Social Inclusion (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, 2021).
Over £400 million is being invested in the City of Sunderland over the next four years and the University will be spending over £250 million in the next ten years to transform our facilities.
Benefit from our lively city centre location, but still be within easy reach of beautiful countryside, superb beaches, and all the other fantastic cities and towns of the North East when you join us at Sunderland.
Take advantage of our first class sports and fitness facilities on campus – with over 30 clubs and 50 teams, there's something for everyone to get involved in.

I would recommend the University of Sunderland without a second thought. The city of Sunderland is rich in culture, with tourist attractions such as the beaches at Roker and Seaburn. If you are a sports lover like me, you will be fascinated by the amount of sporting activities you will come across. To top it all off, the locals are very friendly to visitors. You will need to experience it for yourself to know that the University is truly life-changing.
