Great career prospects Figures published in July by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) show that 91.3% of Teesside graduates who gained a first degree were either in work or undertaking further study six months after leaving the University.

The University of Teesside was also recently the UK’s top scoring modern university in a national survey of over 22,000 full-time students commissioned by The Times Higher Education Supplement. The survey ranked everything from teaching quality to social life.
