Sunderland city

Sunderland is a multicultural city that warmly welcomes international students.

The University itself is home to students from over 100 countries, creating a rich and diverse community. Our International Support Team provides extensive support to help you with everything from visa guidance to cultural integration, making your transition to study in the UK smoother and more enjoyable.

Employment

The UK job market has plenty of job opportunities for international students. As a student from India, you’ll be studying on a Tier 4 or student visa, which means if you’re studying full-time, you’ll be able to get a part-time job.

During term-time, you’re typically allowed to work up to 20 hours per week in a variety of job roles. However, there are some restrictions, such as the type of role, taking full-time permanent roles, or working over 20 hours per week. Always check your visa conditions to stay compliant with UK laws, as this may jeopardise your chance to study.
