The modules were unique and interesting. The lecturers are genuinely great people too, continuing to support me and my business after I graduated.
It had the most welcoming and exciting atmosphere of any of the universities I visited, as well as amazing staff and local vibe.

The University was in a process of a huge regeneration while I was there – walking through the campus now it's unbelievable to see the transformation.
I was lucky enough to receive a scholarship, which meant I could reduce my hours in my part-time job and fully immerse myself in student life.
I own my own business, Ellephant Vegan Bakery in Stockton-on-Tees. I get to work as a baker, accountant, marketing manager, social media manager and photographer.
I took part in the Launchpad FUEL programme which gave me funding towards my business. I moved out of my kitchen and into a unit and the business grew very quickly – it really was life changing so I’d recommend it if you're thinking of starting a business.
Absolutely, without the help from Teesside I wouldn't be where I am today.
In a heartbeat. The staff, the options, the atmosphere and the surrounding businesses. Middlesbrough is the place to be if you want to be part of a progressive and inspiring town, on its way to city-like status.
