Our at-a-glance guide to the University of Sunderland

The University of Sunderland has a student population of over 14,000, based on two main sites, and they're a pretty happy bunch according to the latest national student survey, which ranked them as the most satisfied in the north-east. The Sir Tom Cowie campus at St Peter's is a riverside development that has seen an investment of over £50m in recent years. At the City campus, an ambitious £75m redevelopment programme is well underway. Sunderland is a modern coastal city, right at the heart of the vibrant north-east. The city has been the focus of regeneration and investment, and is continuing to grow and develop.

Fees
£3,290 for full-time undergraduates in 2010-11.

Bursaries
£525 a year for those with a household income of less than £39,305. Scholarships in subject-specific areas are also available.

Accommodation
The university tries to accommodate all first-year undergraduates in halls of residence. There is a wide range of accommodation available and prices vary accordingly, but expect them to compare very favourably with costs in other parts of the country.

Facilities
The Sir Tom Cowie campus was recently voted one of the top 10 student campuses in the UK. CitySpace, a new sport and social centre, opened in September 2009. 2010 will see the opening of the new £7.5m sciences complex, and the first phase of the £12m student village.

Transport
The metro is a light railway network with a station at the heart of City campus. Bus and road links are excellent, and rail transport to the rest of the UK is good too. London is under three hours away by train.
