High scoring Teesside

Teesside University has come top in the UK for student experience in the sector's most prestigious national survey.

Teesside scored highly for:

  • high quality lectures and helpful interested staff
  • a good library and library opening hours
  • having centralised convenient facilities on campus
  • a highly rated Students' Union and great social life
  • well structured courses with industry connections - excellent when it comes to getting a job.

Don't take our word for it

What makes this survey important is the scores come from the students - more than 14,000 full-time undergraduate students took part in the Times Higher poll. It highlights where best practice occurs and Teesside is consistently high performing.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Graham Henderson

Being named as the 'best new university in the UK' on the basis of the views of students themselves is a true testament to the enthusiasm, energy and commitment that everyone at the University puts into endeavouring to give our students an excellent all round experience.

The campus

Around £130m has been spent on our campus proving Teesside is committed to students. Our new Darlington campus opened in 2011 providing even more higher education opportunities.

Our students love it

86% of our degree students are happy with their course - diagnostic radiography gave us a 100% score in the National Student Survey 2012. Students rate our facilities very highly giving us 88% for our Library and our Students' Union is one of the best in the country scoring 84% for satisfaction.

Teesside's achievement follows on from winning THE University of the Year 2009/10.
