We’re an inclusive, ambitious and forward-looking University in a vibrant city that’s constantly evolving. We’re also entering an exciting new phase with a refreshed vision and strategic ambitions shaped around the changing higher education landscape. As we move through 2026, we’re celebrating being recognised as: A top 30 UK university (Guardian University Guide 2026) 1st in the North-East for student support services (Daily Mail University Guide 2026) 1st in the North-East for teaching quality (The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026) Be part of something transformational The University of Sunderland is launching an exciting new Dental Academy, welcoming its first students in September 2027.
