Overview
Teesside University was awarded full university status in 1992 and is situated in Middlesbrough in the north-east of England. 20,000 full and part-time students are currently enrolled and it was the first modern university to win a Times Higher Education Award. Since 1992, it has won nine National Teaching Fellowships for excellence in teaching quality. Teesside University was awarded The Queen's Anniversary Prize in 2013 for outstanding work in the field of enterprise and business engagement.
The University is strong in the areas of forensic science, sport and exercise, computer game design and animation. Many of these are accredited by professional bodies. Teesside University supports graduates in finding employment for at least two years after they leave, and many courses include paid work placements as part of the degree.
Services
Teesside University provides a meet and greet service for international students arriving from overseas and an orientation programme will also help new arrivals settle into the area. Talks and workshops with local and University authorities, as well as meetings with international student advisors, will help provide support throughout the year.
Pre-sessional and in-sessional English language courses are available for students who wish to raise their English level, as well as the more informal International English Language Cafe run by current students.
