About this institution

Teesside University – England

Located in the north-east of England, Teesside University is a young and dynamic university that achieved full university status in 1992. Home to approximately 20,000 full-time and part-time students, the university has, through its modern approach to education, quickly established itself as one of the UK’s leading higher education institutions.

Teesside has gone down in history as the first modern university to win the Times Higher Education Award. Furthermore, thanks to its excellence in teaching, it has won the National Teaching Fellowship nine times.

The university enjoys a strong academic reputation, particularly in the fields of Computer Game Design, Animation, Cyber Security, Forensic Science, and Sport and Exercise Science. Many of these programmes are accredited by the relevant professional bodies. This ensures that students receive an education that enables them to integrate directly into the industry.

Teesside University places great importance on supporting its students’ careers after graduation. Graduates are offered free career support for two years, and many undergraduate programmes are enhanced by paid work placement opportunities. In 2013, the university was awarded The Queen’s Anniversary Prize in recognition of its effective partnerships with businesses and its achievements in the field of entrepreneurship.

With its modern campus, student-friendly living costs and innovative academic approach, Teesside University is an excellent choice, particularly for students aiming for careers in creative technology, digital media and computing.
