Here at the University of Sunderland, our outreach in schools and colleges aims to offer both pupils and teachers access to a wide range of events, activities and helpful resources, tailored to different needs.
We provide a variety of pre and post-16 activities and events, designed to support pupils from all backgrounds, raise aspirations and give them the information they need to make clear choices about their future.
Our team have considerable experience in higher education and are all passionate about delivering engaging and inspiring activities to pupils, as well as offering encouragement towards their journey into university.
"The students got so much out of the day and we really appreciated the time, energy and enthusiasm from the staff and student ambassadors! We'll be sure to continue to push Sunderland as an excellent choice of university to our students."
Hartlepool Sixth Form
"I was blown away with the equipment the University had. Students were able to get hands on throughout their taster session, which they loved. I will definitely be looking to bring next year's cohort."
St Wilfrid's RC College
"We have had a fantastic visit from the University of Sunderland where the children had the opportunity to programme Lego and practise coding and debugging exercises."
Springwell Village Primary School
"I could see our students 'grow' as if they were making the transition there and then from secondary to higher education. To see them sitting in a lecture theatre was a proud moment. Many students are still talking about their takeover day – it gave them a real incentive to get it right in Year 10."
