Student views

I was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

The services are amazing, especially in career advice, student support and volunteering opportunities.

Moving from my home country to the UK and adjusting to a new culture while managing my studies at Teesside University has been a significant journey of growth. I developed critical, technical and professional skills, which allowed me to apply what I learned effectively.

The university's staff and facilities, such as the Library, labs, Student Life and indoor sports are of international calibre.

The school and its lecturers are top-notch at imparting knowledge, and Teesside has the environment and infrastructure to facilitate a positive student experience.

The staff are excellent and pushed me to do my best and they give you their unconditional support.

The tutors were very encouraging and always there to support me to create work that felt true to my values and creative voice.

There is a mixture of classroom sessions and practical exercises designed to put you in real life scenarios that you work your way through.

The highlight of my student experience has been realising how far I’ve come, something I couldn’t see at the beginning of my studies. I’ve developed skills I never thought I would, from technical tools to problem-solving and critical thinking.
