Library

The Library on our Middlesbrough campus has benefited from a £2.1m refurbishment. It has all the print, electronic and multimedia resources you need. Staff will help you with loans and general enquiries. When you are off the campus you can still reach a large amount of information online, including electronic journals and e-books. You can also check and renew loans online.

Our Teesside University Darlington library provides a quiet study environment and has up-to-date resources with experienced staff on hand to help. A selection of books from the Darlington central library has been added to our collection.

How much will my course cost?

The fees are:

  • 10 credits £50
  • 20 credits £100
  • 30 credits £150

If you go on to enrol on a course of over 60 credits in September 2013-14 your Summer University fees will be reimbursed.

We have an Access to Learning fund for students who may need additional help. The fund is means tested and there are other eligibility criteria, one is that the Summer University course must be your first university or higher education course.

To enquire about support, contact our student funding team on 01642 342286 or sfo@tees.ac.uk.

How can I apply?

There are no formal entry requirements for the majority of these courses. Just use the apply online button on the course you are interested in.

If we accept you on a course, we will email you to confirm your place. We give priority to people who don't already have a higher education equivalent-level qualification and/or are not currently enrolled on a university programme.
