What Our Students Say
Computing
"From an early age I always knew I wanted a career in computers and computing. I had a plan to go to the University of Sunderland and I knew the course I wanted to take - so it couldn't have worked out much better for me. The University's
Placement Office were absolutely brilliant and helped me get the right placement to set me on my way. I now work for Newcastle-based company Mancala Technology Limited where I'm Head of Software Development. So it's thanks
to Sunderland I was able to fulfil my potential."

Pharmacy, Chemistry and Biomedical Sciences
"I chose pharmacy because the idea of helping others and making a difference to their health really appealed to me. I could have gone elsewhere but I knew Sunderland had an excellent reputation, so I was pleased I was able to do a really good quality and interesting course there. Now I'm a fully qualified pharmacist I know that Sunderland has not only changed my life, it's also changed the lives of the people I help too."

Sport and Exercise Sciences
"I feel very lucky that I've been able to turn my love of rock climbing into a full time profession and it's mostly thanks to my degree in Sports Science. The facilities at Sunderland helped me progress faster and because it has its own professional standard climbing wall, I was able to train there while studying. Now I travel all over the country to coach the national junior team and the job frequently takes me across Europe so it's fair to say that University helped changed my life and let me follow my true vocation."
