The University of Sunderland
Located in the North East of England, the University of Sunderland is a Top 40 UK university (Guardian University Guide 2025) that offers undergraduate nursing programmes recognised by the UK's Nursing and Midwifery Council.
Its nursing programmes, including the BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing Practice and the BSc (Hons) Mental Health Nursing Practice, are in the UK top 30 for student satisfaction (Complete University Guide 2025). Nursing students benefit from superb, forward-thinking facilities, including an interactive simulated 'Living Lab' where they can put their learning into practice.
The faculty offers a range of clinical placements through strong links with regional NHS hospitals, giving students the chance to work on real-life cases in a real working environment. Trainee adult nurses can also develop their leadership skills by taking part in simulated trauma days and team-building events with 251 Medical Squadron, the local military base.
