Life at Teesside

Students' Union

We are proud to be the top university in North East England in the UK for Students’ Union (WUSCA 2025). Led by students, for students – the Students’ Union (SU) is here to make your time at Teesside the best it can be.

Membership is automatic as soon as you enrol on a course – no forms, no fees, no membership card.

Every penny of profit is reinvested to improve services, facilities and events for students. From day one, you’ll find plenty of social spaces, activities, events and support to help you settle into university life.
