Explore the support and services available to you

All students and employees of the University are automatically members of the Library. Our spaces and services are designed to support our students at every stage of their studies. We also provide tailored support to students on programmes that are taught off campus. Members of staff can use our spaces and collections for their professional development and research interests. Our spaces in Sunderland are open to our guest community during our staffed helpdesk hours. Guests can use the study spaces in Library at Murray and St Peter's Library, refer to our print collections, and connect their own devices to our WiFi networks.
