Home / Student support / SuPA – Sunderland Professional Award

The Sunderland Professional Award (SuPA) rewards you for the skills and experience that you gain through participation in activities outside the lecture theatre.

These awards will help you understand the skills you have and how you can develop further.  

SuPA will enhance your future employment prospects by encouraging you to undertake extra-curricular activities and acquire new skills and experiences.  

This includes involvement in work experience and volunteering opportunities, societies and clubs, and employer events. 

How SUPA are you?

University life is about much more than your degree and there are so many opportunities to develop your skills. 
​​​​​​​​​​​​​If you are looking for a genuine way to stand out from the crowd the Sunderland Professional Award will certainly enhance your CV. 

There are two SuPA Awards you can achieve that can help benefit different areas in your career progression. SuPA Skills has specific deadlines that you’ll need to stick to complete your application.
