Great to hear that you're considering us for your university choice.
The University of Sunderland was ranked 16th (out of 131 universities) in the ‘University of the Year’ category of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSC) 2019, and 9th in the 'Student Support' category (the WUSC are the only national awards voted for by students. Sunderland was also recently named University of the Year for Social Inclusion (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021) and our We Care programme picked up the Widening Access Initiative (Retention and Progression) Award at the 2020 NEON awards.

That’s definitely a lot of great information for me to consider thank you.
How is the course marked like how much is coursework and how much is Exams? I asked at Teeside and they said international business and supply chain management only had one multiple choice exam I forgot to ask how business management was marked.

I’m hesitant to go onto a course with several exams as I feel I perform much better with coursework.

Also I wonder what is the average class size, At Teeside I was told their would be 100+ in lectures and seminars would have a maximum of 25.

Also how much ‘contract teaching/learning’ I’m unsure of the term but I heard something like that on YouTube?

So glad you found the information useful!
Can you confirm which course it is that you're interested in? Here is a link to our subject page as the answers to your questions above can vary slightly depending on the course.
Looking forward to hearing back from you

The business management course full time

Just sent my UCAS thing off 5 mins ago so hard to choose, I sent for business Management and international business at Teeside University ,

Business management at Sunderland university,

I was really stuck between University of Hull and Northumbria University (everyone I talked to said to send away for Northumbria but I didn’t like the course) so business management and business and supply chain management at University of Hull

Thanks for confirming!

So, the Business and Management course assessment is all based around coursework (reports, portfolios, projects, case studies, posters, blogs, podcasts, videos etc) so no exams! Regarding the delivery of the course, due to the current pandemic we will be delivering a hybrid model of teaching and learning which combines face-to-face and online teaching, to ensure that you can undertake your course with us and keep safe.

The course will include weekly face-to-face module session time alongside students within your tutorial group, online module sessions and online guest lectures, practitioner talks and skills-based activities relevant to your course. Here is a link to our 2021 guidance which provides more information on the latest position, as this is developing all the time.

I hope this answers your queries, but do let me know if there is anything else you need
