To welcome you to the University of Sunderland, Your SU is putting on a range of fantastic events and activities for you to take part in during your first week on campus.

Saturday 14th September to Saturday 21st September.

You can find all Your Freshers events on our events calendar.

Sunderland Students' Union is running Your Freshers. Some of the events are being run solely by the SU, and some are in collaboration with Independent, who are putting on some of the evening/night-time events across Sunderland. Events run by the SU are mostly free, but for those that do involve a ticket cost, these are to purchased individually. Entry to all events run by Independent is included with a Freshers wristband. You can purchase a Freshers wristband here.

The Freshers wristband gets you entry into all the events run by Independent during Your Freshers. These events are marked as 'Independent' on the events calendar, and with a wristband icon on our events programme.

The wristband does not get you access to events run solely by the SU. You need to book your place for these events separately.

You can get a Freshers wristband here. This entitles you to entry to all of the events run by Independent during Your Freshers. For events solely run by the SU, you need to book your place/purchase your ticket separately.

You can collect your wristband from Independent's stall in Your SU @ CitySpace on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September (10am-4pm). They can also be picked up from any of Independent's Sunderland Freshers Week events, starting at Independent on Saturday. Please email info@independentsunderland.com if you have any questions about collecting your wristband.

Your SU’s main office is on the Ground Floor of Edinburgh Building on Chester Road, City Campus. We also have two main event spaces - Your SU @ CitySpace on City Campus and Your SU @ Riverside on St Peter’s Campus.

Don’t worry, Your SU is here all year round to support you and help you make the most of your university experience. From events and societies to volunteering and representation, there are lots of opportunities for you to get involved in! You can find out more about opportunities on our website.
