Sixth form, colleges and beyond
We can offer a range of engaging activities for students in Years 12+, from workshops on budgeting and student life to subject-specific taster sessions in business, media, nursing, psychology and many more.
Events for Schools and Colleges
Check out our calendar of events to see the exciting opportunities available for sixth form and college students. These set days are designed to give students a flavour of what it is like to study at university and to see some of our fantastic facilities.
Talks and workshops
We know that time is valuable for students in Years 12 and 13 so we have developed a series of talks and workshops to fill 30 minutes to an hour in a range of topics.
Get Into... series
Our on-campus experience is designed to give sixth form and college students the opportunity to 'Get Into' their subject area and University life at Sunderland. Each Get Into... event can be tailored to you and your students’ needs and can include anything from hands-on subject sessions, campus tours, career advice and student-life activities.
Individual Tours
Book an Individual Tour for you and up to four of your friends and family to get a personalised tour of the campuses, view a room in our halls of residence and talk to academic staff who can tell you more about the subject you're interested in studying.
First Choice Summer School
All fully registered First Choice participants are invited to our Year 12 Summer School to explore university life and find out what Sunderland has to offer. Students will take part in academic and skills sessions, as well as social activities, on our University campus and around the city.
