Honest opinions on nursing at Sunderland and Teeside

Hi,

I’m applying to both Teeside and Sunderland for mental health nursing. What do you think of the courses and the universities?

Hi,

Thank you so much Ellie! That’s exactly what I was looking to hear! I’m from london but lived in Newcastle for years. Defo looking to go to a uni in a town small town where I can get to know more people. Somewhere a bit smaller than Newcastle. London is way too big haha. Aww that’s cool there’s a beach nearby. Is the nearest metro the university metro station? And are there a lot of events with the societies?

Omg I know! I've visited a few times and always been like woahhh this is not for me haha.

Yes so you'd be based at City Campus and the university has its own metro stop, your student card also enables you to ride the university buses for free too so you can travel between the two campuses, the town in between and then anywhere else you want to go. St Peter's also has its own metro stop but it involves a short walk to the other campus but again you can just get the bus if needed. Yes the beach is literally like a 10/15 minute walk from St Peters-again the bus drops you off in the summer and it's generally just cute vibes all round haha.

Yeah so many events! I'm part of the dance and cheer society so they'll host their own events but the uni and SU put on events all year round too so theres always something going on.
Pretty easy to get to and from London from Sunderland station too
Have you attended an open day yet?

Hi there,

Similarly to Ellie from Sunderland uni, I can only discuss life as a Teesside Uni student.

The campus is fantastic - I would recommend you come down and see it if you haven't already, there is such a buzz on the campus and the staff/students could be friendlier. And the health facilities are AMAZING! Middlesbrough is a town with the campus being in the centre and is a 50-minute train/car ride up to Newcastle or Leeds, which is amazing for shopping, nights out etc.

We have an upcoming clearing fair on 19 August and an open day on 9 September. I would recommend visiting our campus and Sunderland's campus to get a feel for both to make an informed decision from there. We also have students in the health school that we can connect you with if you want to discuss mental health nursing and get their opinions to help you decide?

Good luck,
T

Thank you for your reply! Teeside uni sounds amazing too! That’s a lot nearer than I was expecting Teeside to be! I’ll get yours booked in for both, looking to apply for the courses that start early next year 😃That would be great thank you! Currently deciding if I still want to do mental health nursing or another type of nursing. After being set on it for so long.

You still have time to decide, hopefully an open day can help solidify exactly what course you want to do In the meantime, this video here is great to help you get an overview of all the different types of nursing - youtu.be/1tpshli8VOI
