University of Sunderland, City Campus: Opinions

4/5 (108 Opinions)
abid quyum 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent modern facilities. The town is pretty sparkling too... You can see investment is being made. Some homelessness but not on large scale and which city doesn't have this problem.

Devanshu Devanshu 9 months ago

Negative experience: Most messed up place and can’t be known as organisation. There departments don’t have any communication in between them and blame students most of the times. Non of there departments have all the information about a particular problem and then you have to email different people. The best game in world is to outsource people from outside to collect the money so that they don’t have to compromise on someone’s situation, you have to request people from outside university to have a conversation on call and then they reply they don’t do it just play email-email with us. Does that show you only care about money? And most wholesome irony was to see people from social care department doing discrimination on bases of skin colour.

Negative experience: Don’t apply for any online courses or degrees, I paid I could not join the class due to “canvas” problems, never got help, they answer mails with weeks or even months of delay. The are no processing the refund, I have submit the withdrawal and still get emails for paying for next courses. There is no real phone number to call, only hotlines that no one answer. Never have been in contact with a university this miserable Update: to the University, I have contacte the tutors, take thems weeks to answer, only to tell you to send another email to another mailbox. I think i have done over 20 mails to different mailboxes, always with student success on copy.

Negative experience: An incredibly poor experience from start to finish, the lack of quality was even clearer after attending different universities for post-grad. Expect poor teaching with even poorer attitudes from some staff and incredibly subjective marking. Course content and lectures in general were not valuable. I could not recommend.

Negative experience: Extend the study at first and been promise to help extend the visa. But after the visa expires because of delayed response refused to help extend the visa. I offer to meet in person to discuss the situation and maybe offer the idea with either the vice chancellor (since he is from Education Secretary) but been ignored. Head of Immigration University (Lynne) also just simply pass the responsibility to support staff which the issue is related with visa as they promised but hmm no word to say. At first they only said the extend till the end of this year. But t it seem a lie which the later date to submit is Match Next year. Should help with extension first but I don't know why this happen. If the uni still refused hope they still give back the lost cost

Negative experience: How do you offer a conditional admission to someone and then after making a tuition deposit you turnaround and claim that you had rejected the offer, claiming that you sent a mail when a mail was not received. What sort of confusion is that?! Is that how you lot operate? Going through other reviews and I can see you have a notorious trend of receiving deposits and then rejecting admissions while cooking up a lie that you send a mail notifying the rejection when in actual fact you did not. This is quite unfortunate!

University of Sunderland, City Campus
University of Sunderland, City Campus

Hi Paul, Unfortunately we cannot discuss individual applications online due to data protection, however we can assure you that we would never reject an application for no reason. Your offer was 'conditional' which means that certain requirements needed to be met, it's possible that you didn't meet the criteria for the course however our Admissions team are best to advise on this. You can contact them on [email protected].

Sue Ofoegbu 3 years ago

Negative experience: When I joined this university I was studying Adult nursing, because I became unwell I was informed I need to withdraw as my recovery would take too long. I later applied for mental health nursing for the year after which I was accepted on. Due to covid placements were far and few, this is when I was given no options to take a leave of absence after completing almost 1 full year. So, I returned a few months later for September intake, I was placed on 2 community placements which did not offer the ability to complete the proficiencies required to progress to the next year and although I arranged to go onto wards I was unable to complete medication rounds as there were to many students. By the time the year was finished most of the year had failed and withdrawn. The lack of response from tutors for support was shocking. If your looking to be educated in nursing without experience then I would not recommend this university. Being taught through PowerPoints posted to canvas is not ideal as you cannot ask questions because tutors don't respond. I loved nursing but studying with this university has ruined my confidence in my academic ability and the attitude from some staff to students is terrible, sometimes I think they forget we are adults not children. Think properly before investing your money in to this area, because the fail rate is high and the only nursing group that is taken seriously is Adult nursing.

Jonny Zeb 3 years ago

Negative experience: Very Bad University... I applied as a international student from Saudi Arabia for MBA for October intake 2022. Got conditional offer, submitted all documents, Passed interview, submitted questionnaire & immigration history form, Paid initial deposit fee of 3500 Pounds and suddenly they rejected me and no reason mentioned on the portal. CALLING FROM Morning to Admissions department and compliance team, no one pick ups the call, no ome answered only music was played and I have a lot of bill to pay for international calls. Worst service ever...

Negative experience: Really a bed experience with this university they totally wasted my time , I applied for December intake but but after transfer of funds they told their seats are full for that particular course then I thought it's ok " I might be late to book the seat" Then they gave an option to defer that for April Or May intake in their London campus as I had already passed the interview but they again gave some Questionnaire to fill and as I filled them with straight forward answers and meanwhile before this I had paid approx 60% fee. But I don't know in that given questionnaire they want me to narrate some big and fake stories or without any solid reason they rejected my application. This university don't care about your time, money and anything else. Even after this their stupid agents showed very rude behavior with me when I asked for some reason for Rejection. Over all guys don't go for this university. Worse university during this time.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you felt that your application experience was not satisfactory. We are only able to fill a specific number of places on our courses and if they are full, the applicant may then be asked to defer. As this review is about our London campus we would advise that you take this up with them via [email protected] or the agent in question but we do appreciate you taking the time to make us aware.

Negative experience: After graduating they show no respond to you or assistance!! Been studying there for 4 years after graduating wanted to do a master at another university. I’ve asked for a letter from the university to proof I was student there. it took ( 34 )Days to get a respond! I’ve send an 3 email to student admin no respond! I’ve called 11 time’s and left voice call because calls doesn’t go through and still no one called me back. It’s really bad experience. I got a proof of what I’m saying.

Hi Nidal, We're sorry to hear that you felt that you had no assistance after graduating. As i'm sure you can appreciate, the last few months have been extremely busy across our departments due to the new semester and the implications of Covid-19. We trust that your query has now been dealt with but if you are still requiring a letter, you can request one via this link https://sj.sunderland.ac.uk/student-information/your-studies/letter-requests/

Hi Mohammed, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Sorry to hear that you think the university lacks atmosphere. Vibrancy on campus is something we continually work on and we are proud to offer a wide variety of events to suit all students throughout the year. The recently modernised eateries and introduction of our new catering team has also contributed to this and we now have a venue on site where students can hang out in after lessons or on an evening to enjoy the food and drink offerings. Our partnership with Sunderland Culture means there are often opportunities for students to get first-hand experience linked to the programme delivered in venues or across the city. Sunderland Culture is also working to help the development of creative industries in the city including support for emerging artists, creative businesses and the establishment of affordable workspaces: In the 2018 Liveability Index, Sunderland was also named as the best place to live for the under 30s due to low living costs, high job satisfaction, and general happiness and wellbeing. We hope this addresses some of your initial concerns. Thanks

Negative experience: What a waste of your time, studying abroad. Better finish it locally. Please Read my points and consider. 1. Cost of living and rent here is outrages. If you can't find a hostel don't bother looking for a cheaper house nearby because the time wasted walking around is about half an hour to an Hour. 2. The Environment is non friendly, the locals here are unfriendly and will call you names or pick a fight with you. 3. The Curriculum and Classes here are confusing too. There are not in one place. Some are in the East side and some are in the west side. The Foster building, Campus, Preistman Building are in the east side. AND ACROSS THE RIVER is the 'WEST SIDE', Read Carefully (ACROSS THE RIVER), There will be a campus Bus to drive you there, but you have to wait every TWO hours. The West Side Building consist of St Peter's Campus, Faculty of Business & Law, Etc.

Hi there, i'm sorry to hear that you have not had a positive experience studying here in Sunderland. We're proud to be an innovative, accessible and inspirational university and we're saddened to hear that you feel this was not the case during your time with us. We would have liked the opportunity to resolve your issues promptly while you were on campus but rest assured your review will be looked into further and raised with the relevent teams. Sunderland is actually the 2nd most affordable place in the UK to live as a student ,the analysis was carried out by Student.com in 2017 and looked at what students spend on average for accommodation per week across 92 cities in the UK, US and Australia. It is therefore unfortunate that you found both the cost of living and rent 'outrageous', and should this have been brought to our attention we would have worked hard to offer additional support with our Finance team. With regards to the none friendly environment, we are proud to have a Crime Prevention team with a dedicated Campus Police Officer on site who works hard to make campus a safe space for all students. We also do not tolerate any form of hate crime on or off campus, and have strong links with ARCH, an organisation that supports the victims of racism, homophobia, transphobia, religious hate incidents or disability hate incidents. Had we known of any of the troubles you faced, this would have been dealt with immediately. With our courses, it is rare that you will have to be based at both campuses, as you mentioned our City Campus is home to the University’s Design disciplines and the Northern Centre for Photography. The Campus is also a base for our main Sciences provisions, housing our world-famous Pharmacy School, our Living Labs, and the newly-established School of Nursing. Sir Tom Cowie Campus is the University’s main centre for Business and Tourism , Computing and Engineering. Media is also taught here, as well as Teaching, English, History, Journalism & PR, Law, Psychology and Social Sciences. Therefore depending on what course you studied, you would only be based at one campus for the majority of your time. City Campus is also home to our main administration and support services, so this may have been a reason you needed to visit but again, this would only be under certain circumstances. The Sunderland campuses are located just over a mile apart, and are within walking distance of each other. It takes roughly 20 minutes to walk from one to the other, or as you mentioned, you can catch the Sunderland Connect 700/701 or Students' Union campus bus. There are also Metro stops at both campuses. The campus bus runs very regularly and we are completely unaware of an instance where any student has had to wait two hours. The full bus timetable is available at the bus stop as well as on our website and app so you are always aware of the next arrival. Again, we are extremely sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us. We value each and every one of our students and always take it upon ourselves to offer support and guidance when an issue arrises. Should you like to discuss any aspect of your review further, please do not hesitate to contact us through our website.
