The University of Sunderland is a university located in the North East of England. Its predecessor, Sunderland Technical College, was established as a municipal training college in 1901. It gained university status in 1992 and now has campuses in Sunderland, London and Hong Kong, with approximately 13,000 students in total.

The fashion courses on offer at the University of Sunderland allow students to explore every aspect of the fashion industry: develop concepts, create designs, construct garments, understand retail concepts, and plan and manage events.

Fashion industry employers have previously complimented the university on how ‘industry-ready’ their students are, as they gain a good all round understanding of the way the industry operates, enabling them to complement many types of professional teams.
