The University of Sunderland prides itself on being a truly global university, with more than 27,500 students studying at our campuses in Sunderland, London and Hong Kong and through transnational and online education.
Our strategic plan is underpinned by our three ambitions to be student-focused, professions-facing and society-shaping.
We have demonstrated that we can combine the pursuit of academic excellence with championing social-inclusion and diversity. As a result, we offer transformative experiences to talented students from all backgrounds.
Professor Arabella Plouviez SFHEA, Dean, Faculty of Arts & Creative Industries, said: ‘It is really exciting for the University to be able to be a lead sponsor the North East Culture Awards. Embracing creativity and celebrating cultural diversity is very important and supporting these awards reflects our commitment to recognising the remarkable talents that enrich our vibrant region. The Culture Awards enable us to celebrate our artists, writers, performers and creatives and recognise the importance of the arts and culture to challenge, question and inspire. Through this partnership, we are helping to foster a thriving environment where innovation and expression flourish along with boundless imagination.’
