Vice-Chancellor’s Welcome


Home / Post-Graduate Research Student Handbook / Introduction / Vice-Chancellor’s Welcome

Welcome to the University of Sunderland. I am genuinely delighted you chose to entrust your future with us. We will provide every opportunity we have available to support you on your journey with us. We will give you every chance to have a life changing experience and to develop all the attributes necessary to make a difference once you leave us.

Everything we do at Sunderland has the student at the heart of it. We are committed to providing a strong student experience via our programmes and non-academic opportunities. Your success, however, will also depend on your participation and commitment during your time with us. We aim to inspire you to engage in your learning and help co-create your learning journey. We will personalise that journey from first contact to alumni.

Once again, welcome to the University of Sunderland. Enjoy your time with us, good luck with your studies and I look forward to seeing you at your graduation ceremony, which signals the start of a life-long relationship with us.
