About The University
Sunderland enjoys a growing reputation as a dynamic, modern university with high standards. Over the past few years we have been named 'the best new university in England' (The Guardian) and the best UK university for the quality, range and quantity of our research (Research Assessment Exercise).
The Quality Assurance Agency's most recent reviews have led to us being awarded the highest possible ratings for the quality of our courses. The same rating was given to our teaching, learning environment and student support as part of a full QAA audit.
Government performance indicators show us as one of the leaders in attracting students from backgrounds where there is a low-take up of higher education. These are just some of the reasons why Sunderland is the place for you to grow and succeed professionally.
We have high quality staff teaching programmes at all levels to help individuals achieve their full potential. At the same time, we are proud of the key contribution the university's academics and researchers make to the economic and cultural well-being of our region as a whole.
We are working in partnership with some of the world's largest corporations and organisations. With a graduate employment rate of 94 per cent and our strong links with industry, business and the community, it's no wonder that we've established an enviable reputation as the university of enterprise and employability.
So, if you share our energy and commitment to educational excellence, make the move to a university that can take you places. You'll be in good company. Former Secretary of State for Education, Estelle Morris, and England's Chief Pharmaceutical Officer, Dr Jim Smith, are only two of the leaders in their field who have joined Sunderland.
