Orientation programme
A week long orientation programme is available at the beginning of each semester. It is important that you attend this programme as you will receive essential information about your time at Sunderland. You will also register on your programme and finalise your classes.
The programme also includes social events and is a great opportunity to meet other exchange and study abroad students from across the world. We welcome students from Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, USA and throughout Europe.
