Access and participation
Teesside University has a long-established commitment to ensuring equality of opportunity through high quality education which equips students to meet their full potential.
Our priorities
We believe that everyone should be able to achieve their full potential. We are committed to creating an inclusive campus that embraces diversity and supports students to succeed. To achieve this, within our access and participation plan (APP) we have identified priorities to enable access to higher education, ensure success in students' studies and support progression into graduate level employment or further study.
About our Access and Participation Plan
In the academic year 2023/24, 87.4% of Teesside University students accessing higher education were from a disadvantaged background and for this reason we ensure that our academic teaching, and our academic related support equips students with the skills, knowledge and tools to thrive.
Student support
Our students can access a wide range of services and advice.
Evaluation
Evidence Hub
In addition to delivering interventions to support our students, we also evaluate their effectiveness, and whenever possible we will share our findings with the rest of the higher education sector.

TASO
When evaluating our access and participation interventions we use the tools available through the Transforming Access and Student Outcomes in Higher Education (TASO) hub. TASO provides the sector with evidence and resources to help reduce gaps in equality and will host the Higher Education Evaluation Library HEEL, where higher education institutions share findings.
