Sunderland College

Sunderland College, is a further education, higher education college based in Sunderland, North East England. The enrolment includes around 6,300 part-time learners and approximately 4,800 full-time students.

Sunderland has been an important nucleus for education since 674 AD, when Benedict Biscop built St. Peter’s Church and Monastery, which was also the first place to get stained glass windows in the UK. The Sir Tom Cowie Campus is located next to this famous church.

Now a mixture of Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian architecture, Sunderland is one of the largest cities in the north east and has a buzzing nightlife scene, often playing host to many touring music bands. It is a short walk from miles of sandy beaches and about four hours by train from London.
