The University of Sunderland roots can be traced back to 1901, when Sunderland Technical College was established as a municipal training college on Green Terrace (the site of the former Galen Building). It was the first to offer sandwich courses. Pharmacy and naval architecture departments were established in 1921 and 1922 respectively. From 1930, some students in the Faculty of Applied Science read for degrees of the University of Durham. Also in 1930, a Mining Department was established and pharmacy students could read for the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree of the University of London. In the 1960s a PDP-8 hybrid computer was installed at the Chester Road site. A new complex of buildings, including Students Union and Hall of Residence facilities, on nearby Chester Road was opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1964.

Sunderland Polytechnic was established on 1 January 1969, incorporating the Technical College, the School of Art (which was also established in 1901) and the Sunderland Teacher Training College (established in 1908). In 1992 the Polytechnic gained University status. The University of Sunderland was recognised by The Guardian as England's best new university in 2001, and in 2005 was named by The Times Higher Education Supplement as the top university in England for providing the best student experience. Lord Puttnam became the university's first Chancellor in 1998. The University of Sunderland Empire Theatre was the regular venue for the graduation ceremonies, although they have been hosted at the Stadium of Light since 2004. In July 2007, he stepped down as Chancellor to become the Chancellor of the Open University. On 23 May 2008 the University announced that former Olympic athlete Steve Cram had been appointed as Chancellor and would be officially installed at a ceremony on 27 June 2008.

University of Sunderland are currently two main campuses, City Campus and the Sir Tom Cowie Campus at St Peter's, with other buildings in Ashbrooke. St Peter's opened during the 1990s on the northbank of the River Wear, the site of St. Peter's Church and monastery built by Benedict Biscop in 674AD. In September 2002 the campus was renamed "The Sir Tom Cowie Campus at St. Peter's" after the local businessman who was one of the University of Sunderland primary supporters. The Sunderland Business School is similarly named "The Reg Vardy Centre", and another building, primarily used by the School of Computing and Technology, is "The David Goldman Informatics Centre". There is also a smaller campus, Ashburne House, which is the base for the Art and Photography courses.

St Peter's Campus includes the following: North Shore (formerly Campus and Manor Quay), Wearbank House, Reg Vardy Centre, St Peter's Library, David Goldman Informatics Centre, Prospect Building (including Sir Tom Cowie Lecture Theatre), David Puttnam Media Centre, North Sands Business Centre. The David Puttnam Media Centre, housing television and radio production facilities for the School of Arts, Design and Media and student radio station 107 Spark Fm, and Spark TV, opened in 2003 at St. Peter's. It was officially opened in March 2004 by Estelle Morris. Former Education Secretary Morris was Pro Vice-Chancellor from 2005-2009.

In 2006 the Chester Road Campus was renamed City Campus, and work started on refurbishment of the Edinburgh Building administrative centre, the creation of the Gateway on-stop-shop for student support, and the redevelopment of Murray Library, and the Design Centre. The £12m CitySpace development opened in 2009, and in September 2010 the £7.5m Sciences Complex opened, followed by the opening of the University Quad in December 2010.

It is made all the more special because this is a resounding endorsement from the people who matter to us most, and who know the most about us - our students and graduates,” said Vice Chancellor Peter Fidler.
