Studied BSc Applied Business Computing at oversea campus. UoS is the best university to study, the curriculums are up to standard and assist you to experience real life challenges and learn how to overcome them. All assessments are transparent, so I think no where else is like this.
It's through a 'Life Changing'.

Choosing to study Electronic and Electrical Engineering was the best decision I ever made. More so, I couldn't have chosen a better place to study it than at the University of Sunderland. The supports from the teaching staff have been excellent.

I had great time while studying in the UoS, the academic community was excellent and second to none. The staff (both academic and non-academic) were all fab, profesionals and yet friendly! I will keep recommending the UoS to friends and family members. Cheers

Studying pharmacy in UoS is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The greatest thing about it is that most lecturers are practising pharmacists and they are very professional, passionate & approachable! We are groomed to be very patient-focused as well as having good clinical & communication skills. The pharmacy labs and library facilities are fully equipped & I'd definitely recommend students to study pharmacy here!
