On campus students
Our spaces and services are designed to support you at every stage of your studies.
Our spaces are open to current University of Sunderland students who are eligible for a campus card, offering a range of study spaces, print collections, and IT facilities.
Although our print collections are split across our different buildings by subject, you can choose to use the study spaces and IT facilities in any of our buildings. The main floor study areas and PC clusters are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you prefer to study in a private space, we offer a variety of different study rooms, booths, and pods across our buildings, which can be booked in advance.
Undergraduates and postgraduates eligible can borrow up to 25 items at a time and can access our online collections using their University user ID and password.
The majority of our collections are available to borrow for 28 days at a time and can be renewed if you need to keep them for longer. Always check your email receipt to see when the book is due for return.
FAQ: How do I renew my books online?
Open-access PCs and Macs, as well as borrowable laptops, are available to current students who are eligible to access campus services.
Students can use printers located across the University campuses.
As well as the online support available to all students, on campus students can also access in-person one-to-one support, masterclasses, and drop-ins. This support is available at any point in your studies.
