Academic Support

Your SU Advice Service is an impartial team of trained and experienced advisors, who can provide free, confidential and non-judgmental advice on a range of academic issues you may be facing.

It is available to all students and is completely independent from the University, meaning the team can advise you without any risk of bias or unfairness. Below are some of the academic areas they can support you with.

Unsure what to do?

The Advisor team deals with a wide range of issues, so if you are unsure if they can help, just get in touch. If more appropriate support for your query is available elsewhere, the team will direct you to the right place.

You can email the team via su.advice@sunderland.ac.uk or you can book an appointment. Appointments are available both in person and online.
