Armed Forces Support

The University of Sunderland are proud holders of the Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award. This demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that service personnel and their families are supported as they transition into life at university.

Lauren Boffey is the dedicated Armed Forces Contact, here to support those students transitioning out of the Armed Forces into the University of Sunderland. Lauren’s role is to ensure these students receive the best possible service from the University, offering a robust structure of support to ensure the transition back to civvy street is a successful one.

The support we provide for students includes:

• Support through the enquiry stage to help students find the right course for them based on experience, qualifications and personal interests
• Support navigating the application process
• Support moving and adjusting to life at university – based on individual needs
