Your campus
We've invested £300m in our friendly town-centre campus, right at the heart of Middlesbrough.
Welcome to a vibrant hub where academic excellence meets inspiring spaces and specialist facilities. From creative studios and engineering labs to health clinics, sports centres and social areas, our campus is designed for learning, collaboration and community.
At the centre of it all is our Campus Heart, a landmark development that seamlessly connects the North and South sides of the University. More than just a meeting point, it's an iconic space where students, staff and the wider community come together.
