University of Sunderland

The University of Sunderland is a truly life-changing university. We've been providing higher education in the city since 1901, and we're proud to be an innovative, accessible and inspirational university. As of year-end 2013-2014 we have 20,887 students, and our strengths range from widening access and student experience to research, international and industry links.

All-male and all-female flats can be made available, dependent on application date and availability.

Most of our accommodation has technology to support students who are deaf or hearing impaired, and we also have rooms, kitchens and bathrooms which are easily accessible for students who use wheelchairs. We can also help if you have any other needs, such as needing a personal fridge for storing medication.

Benefits of halls of residence
