University of Sunderland

Destination Sunderland > University


The university of Sunderland is a dynamic, modern university with high standards of teaching and research and a growing reputation as the university for enterprise, employment and opportunity.

The University has been providing higher education in the city since 1901. The key to this longevity is its ability to adapt to change – something that former Education Secretary Estelle Morris highlights:

“The University is extremely good at adapting – constantly seizing new agendas and changing with society…when new ideas are announced academia trails in their wake, taking too long to adjust but Sunderland takes its opportunities and leads the field.”

This approach has led to many awards and they are regularly asked to pilot new Government initiatives and projects.

Rated one the best ‘new’ universities in the UK for the overall quality, quantity and range of research.
