Sunderland Reviews

Stay away from their Online Master s degrees

I have been studied an online Msc Computer Science Data Science from University of Sunderland I tried to send them many emails regarding my 2nd attempt assignments as I had COVID-19 before But they ignored and never answer my Appeal complaint forms No teaching at all there are 3-4 short videos 2 mins for each course The rest you have to read books and learn by yourself Your grades will be scored differently by inexperience tutors with short comments on your assignments If they don t like you you would get a low mark of 42 100 or fail the course Unbelievable Stay away from this University When you need their help no answer All they want is just want you to pay for next modules

Avoid University of Sunderland

Avoid University of Sunderland this is dirty business after getting your University Fee payment for studies they automatically withdraw students from studies and you cannot get qualified with your degree

DESPICABLE DISGUSTING TREATMENT OF STAFF

The way this university treats their staff is absolutely DISGUSTING They work their staff to the point of complete and total breakdowns and then wash their hands of it as though it was nothing to do with them Then when you are completely and utterly broken because they ve put you under an exponential amount of unnecessary pressure for so long expecting you to do the work of 4 or 5 people because they want to run this s itshow on a shoestring they will try and FORCE you into making long-term decisions that you re mentally and emotionally in no position to make because you re so broken thus making your situation even worse They ll try and avoid acknowledging or addressing your grievance and hope that they can push you out without taking any responsibility for their disgraceful behaviour The management is a JOKE making decisions without a CLUE about what goes on the ground AVOID this circus of a university at all costs If you work for them SUE THEM for compromising your mental health You need to be SHUT DOWN The way you treat your staff is UTTERLY ABHORRENT You should be ashamed of yourselves There will be plenty of context in court See you there AVOID AVOID AVOID Honestly the WORST company to work for ever Just an absolute abomination Stay away from them

Not worth the paper it s written on

Started reasonably well but over time the standard went into a freefall The primary lecturer of two was let go by the university and not replaced The secondary lecturer googled most of the course materials because he wasn t familiar with the topics he had been left to teach Then -he- left at a critical moment with three months left on the course We were given no support mandated review meetings didn t happen and we were left to complete the majority of our final projects without even having the final version of the assignment An 18 month MSc ended up being stretched out to 27 months Along the way the students ended up knowing more about how the course was supposed to be ran than the faculty When confronted about the issues the faculty repeatedly denied wrongdoing despite being caught in several lies and ultimately the only reason the students got time to finish the course they tried to imply that a break in teaching they caused was somehow our responsibility was because we lodged a complaint and threatened to go to the ombudsman Their solution was to appoint a lecturer whose own colleagues admitted was completely incompetent He didn t understand the course repeatedly misled us marked work inconsistently and generally made the situation significantly worse than it already was They are very very lucky that they haven t been sued Yet In the end the course wasn t taught to the standard set out in the specification and even the content was wide of the mark of what was supposed to be taught Everything remotely useful that I learned during my time there was self-researched The content was either outdated inaccurate or irrelevant The course was 20 000 If you re thinking about coming to Sunderland I guarantee you can do better Spend 20 000 on online courses Set 20 000 on fire and sell tickets to watch it burn You ll be better served either way I promise

I do not think is normal to pay 9250 a year to study online and have classes canceled If UCU wants to strike then we should have discounts

I enrolled in the MSc Computer Science

I enrolled in the MSc Computer Science with Data Science program in January 2023 expecting a quality education under the University of Sunderland s name However the reality has been far from satisfactory The course unfortunately is not directly conducted by the University of Sunderland but is outsourced to an external company using the university s name The delivery of each module primarily consists of low-quality videos of professors in dimly lit living rooms reading off PowerPoint slides Access to essential readings through the online library has been inconsistent hindering our ability to access critical resources for learning The assessment structure is equally flawed For example our first assignment involved us submitting an A4 poster but the assessment criteria seemed impossible to meet in this format It was almost like we needed a 1000 word essay at minimum to meet the criteria We were instructed in the assignment brief to submit the poster as a PDF but then after waiting weeks over the deadline to recieve our marks we were told we had submitted it wrong and needed to make it a word doc It was very difficult in my situation and when I coverted it to a word doc it completely changed the format Like who makes a poster as a word doc Another example was despite the criteria specifying a need for a minimum of 10 academic sources the lecturer instructed us to use a maximum of 4 due to the poster format This discrepancy made it nearly impossible to meet the criteria within the constraints of a poster This obviously explained why we could see the average mark across the whole class for this assignment was a fail at 30 What s more frustrating is the response from instructors and university staff when these concerns were raised Rather than addressing the issues we were met with dismissive comments suggesting that our class simply wasn t accustomed to Master s degree standards My attempts to seek resolution by reaching out to the module leader and the student success team were in vain Despite voicing my concerns the university s communication has been solely focused on soliciting payments for upcoming modules with no acknowledgment or resolution of the ongoing problems Honestly this whole course is a complete scam and its disgusting that the University of Sunderland allows it You can see by their replies to these reviews that they don t care at all I could say so much more about the course but honestly I can t be bothered anymore It was my biggest waste of money in my life
