Our mission is to shape student lives for the future and we’re here to make sure that whatever you’re looking for out of your experience at the University of Sunderland, you can make it happen.
Here's a brief overview of everything we do! You can find out more about all of the following areas by exploring the rest of our website.

Reps
Reps
Reps are students who have a passion for representing your views to University staff and Your SU. With their constructive feedback, they help to bring about positive changes and create the best possible academic experience for everyone, at course and school level.
Course Reps
Course Reps represent your views on your course. Each Course Rep is responsible for a year group of their course or programme, working with their faculty staff to address student feedback.
Student Voice Reps
Student Voice Reps represent a school’s overall student body. They take on board feedback and present student perspectives at high level University meetings.
Your Exec
Your Exec consists of full-time and part-time Officers. They are elected by the students each year. The four full-time Officers (or Presidents) lead the SU, act as Charity Trustees and represent students at the highest levels of the University.
If you’re passionate about making life better for students, you can run to be an officer too!

Union Council
You can also attend our Union Council meetings to discuss the changes you would like to see and give feedback to Your SU and Elected Officers.
Join a Society
Joining a society at Your SU is a brilliant way to meet like-minded students, make friends and find your community at university, all while having a fantastic time and maybe even trying something new! We have more than 40 student-led societies for you to choose from.
But don’t worry if you don’t find what you’re looking for - you can always start your own!

Advice and Support
Advice and Support
We have a free and confidential Advice Service, independent from the University. The team can help with a range of academic issues and signpost to the right University services for wellbeing and other general support.
You can also sign up for an SU Buddy to help you begin your university journey. They are more experienced students who can help you settle in Sunderland. We’ll pair you up with a Buddy based on your course and interests.
