Hello!

Welcome to Teesside University's official rep account. Visit the forum, send us a message or give the Teesside account a follow to ask questions, keep up to date or just have a chat.

Teesside University is in North East England - we love it here...our campus is based in the heart of Middlesbrough, a bustling town in the Tees Valley. We're super close to quirky cafes, chilled out micro pubs, vintage clothes shops and lovely outdoor spaces. We're really proud of our industry and our industrial heritage, but Teesside also has a lot of other things to offer. The Tees Valley is an amazing place to be if you love the outdoors, if you love sport, fitness, culture and the arts. It's a great, friendly place to live and study and our town-centre campus means you're always in the heart of what's happening. Of course you'd expect us to say that - so come and visit us and make your own mind up (check out the open days calendar in our university guide or head to our website for visit info).

You might already know what kind of course you're looking for... if you don't, just visit the Teesside University website and use the course search option to see what's on offer. Teesside University has a broad portfolio of programmes with specialisms in science, technology and engineering, as well as creativity, enterprise and digital innovation. The University also excels in health science and computing.

As you’ll see from our university guide, Teesside Uni has just completed a massive phase of campus investment (with lots more to come) – we love our campus and we’re really proud of our high-spec equipment and resources. Teaching and learning facilities include broadcast studios and computing suites, dedicated health laboratories, customised design workshops, 3D printers, an environmental chamber, a flight simulator, a crime scene house, a full-size ambulance, green screens, and even a replica court room. And our students love our campus heart – this open, outdoor space is used all year round for events and celebrations and it houses our ultra-modern teaching building, The Curve, and the brilliant Student Life building - your first point of call for anything you need help with. Have a look through our guide and galleries to check it all out.
