Flow Student appointed as an official accommodation provider for the University of Sunderland

Flow Student is proud to announce that we are now an official accommodation provider for the University of Sunderland, giving students and parents added confidence that our accommodation meets recognised standards for quality, safety and management.

This appointment means students studying at the University of Sunderland can choose Flow Student accommodation knowing it is delivered by a trusted, experienced operator, recognised by the University and focused on providing a consistent, well-supported living experience.

Investment in Sunderland student living

Since acquiring Clanny House in 2024, Flow Student has completed a multi-million pound refurbishment programme, transforming the building to deliver a modern, high-quality student living experience.

The refurbishment has focused on upgrading accommodation, communal areas and building standards, reflecting our long-term commitment to student living in Sunderland.

Nationally recognised standards you can trust

Alongside our appointment as an official University accommodation provider, Flow Student has also achieved ANUK (Accreditation Network UK) accreditation — a nationally recognised benchmark for quality and compliance within the student accommodation sector.

ANUK accreditation independently assesses key areas including:

  • Property safety and regulatory compliance

  • Management and operational standards

  • Maintenance and resident support

  • Transparency, fairness and tenant rights

Together, official provider status and ANUK accreditation demonstrate Flow Student’s commitment to raising standards — not just in the buildings we operate, but in the day-to-day experience of living with us.

Supporting students throughout their time at university

Flow Student’s Sunderland accommodation forms part of a growing UK portfolio designed to support students at every stage of their academic journey.

Our partnership with the University of Sunderland will also see Flow Student align our services to support resi-life activities, providing students with opportunities to connect, take part in events and feel part of a wider student community within their accommodation.

Our aim is simple: to provide accommodation that feels dependable, supportive and easy to live in, giving students the freedom to focus on their studies and university life.

A word from our Head of Student Operations

Richard Bolger, Head of Student Operations at Flow Student, said:

“Becoming an official accommodation provider for the University of Sunderland is a significant milestone for Flow Student and a reflection of the standards our teams work hard to deliver every day.”

Looking ahead

Flow Student looks forward to working closely with the University of Sunderland as we continue to strengthen our presence in the city and support students with accommodation they can rely on.

We’re proud to play our part in Sunderland’s student community and look forward to welcoming new residents to Flow Student at Clanny House.
