Student Posters
Our courses are assessed in a variety of ways, and biology is no exception. Recently our talented Life Sciences students did poster presentations as part of their module assessement. A very high standard was seen throughout; here is a small selection of the great work they produced. Well done everyone!

Life Sciences at Sunderland FoC
One of the pathways we offer here at Sunderland FoundationCampus is Life Sciences. After passing the course they then have guaranteed progression onto a range of top quality degree programs at Sunderland University, including the very highly-rated MPharm course.
Here are some of Sunderland FoundationCampus' current life science students making good use of the laboratory facilities during their chemistry practicals.
Students that pass our Life Sciences foundation course may also choose to study other degree courses offered at Sunderland University, such as Drug Discovery and Development, or Sports Science.

Meet Gong, a current student here at Sunderland FoundationCampus.
Which programme are you studying at Sunderland FoundationCampus, and which degree do you want to progress onto?
Has your English improved? Which areas in particular?
My English has definitely improved – I speak English every day with my friends and it is very important to improve. The teachers have taught me a lot about how to write an essay and I have improved a lot.
Where do you live?
I am living in the Precinct (university accomodation) and I really enjoy it. My flatmates are very kind and friendly. There are a lot of students from different countries.
Have you met any university students yet?
Some of my flatmates study at the business school which is very useful for me; I can ask questions about the business school. There is also a lady who is a student rep living in our block and she is very kind and helps me a lot. Every week we play basketball with other Chinese students at the university.
If you had to

Masters Foundation Research Conference
All MFP (Masters Foundation Programme) students are taught Research Methods here at Sunderland FoundationCampus. A conference was organised to give our students an opportunity to showcase the impressive work they'd done, giving a presentation on their chosen research topics. We were very pleased with the results, which clearly demonstrated that all their hard work had been worthwhile.
A range of different topics were presented, ranging from AIDS awareness in Nigeria and increasing labour costs in China, to the psychology of online shoppers and differences in recruitment methods. All attendees took part in a vote: many congratulations to Zhao Lezhang who won a prize for Best Presentation, and to Song Xiangpeng for winning the prize for Best Poster. Well done guys!
