Living in Sunderland

If you choose Sunderland, you're not just choosing a course, but a home away from home too. Find out everything you need to know about how friendly, diverse and affordable it is to live in the North East and get ready to explore city, coast and countryside from your doorstep.

Sunderland is located within the county of Tyne and Wear, in the North East of England. Providing the perfect fusion of city and seaside living, it's a fantastic part of the country and a great choice for somewhere to live and study.

Nestled by the River Wear's mouth to the North Sea, Sunderland's population of around 175,000 strengthens our reputation as a small and friendly city, but you'll also be just a stone's throw from Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham. We're also advancing when it comes to technology as Sunderland is about to become one of the first 5G-enabled universities in the UK.
