Celebrating student success with global partner
10 Aug 2026
We design our courses with the help of both students and employers to blend theory with practice. We're a proud signatory of the United Nations' Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative and champion responsible management education through our entire suite of courses, equipping students with the knowledge, skills and behaviours to solve the global business challenges.
We aim to accelerate the world's transition to a sustainable, responsible and globally connected community by producing leaders and equipping organisations with the core knowledge, skills, innovation and values to achieve positive commercial, environmental, economic and societal impact.
Whether turning promises on climate change into action, connecting the world to opportunities in the digital revolution or understanding the changing nature of work, the workforce and workplace, the Business School brings together public, private and voluntary organisations to provide creative solutions to tackling key global challenges.
Our students are supported by subject experts to deliver high quality consultancy projects to your organisation.
Teesside Marketing Clinic offers tailored consultancy services to small businesses, social enterprises, sole traders and start-ups in the Tees Valley - free of charge.
We have built an impressive reputation working with leading employers such as Middlesbrough Football Club, PD Ports, Greggs, Iceland, Nifco and amec.
Our alumni have gone on to achieve high level positions at organisations such as The Bank of New York, Goldman Sachs and Delta Airlines.
