Excellent careers
We’re in the top ten of modern universities for graduate prospects (The Times Good University Guide 2008). 88% of 2006 leavers with first degrees from full-time courses were in work, further study or training, according to the Higher Education Performance Indicators 2005-06. And 63% had graduate-level jobs (Sunday Times 2006 Guide).
Industry-recognised and accredited courses
On many courses you can gain practical experience working in business and industry. We’ve worked with employers to make courses directly relevant to your future career. And accreditation by professional bodies is another important feature of many courses.
Friendly and supportive
On our compact, town centre campus, we’re a close knit community. Our students praise our support services for their accessibility and sensitivity – they tell us we’re excellent listeners.
Quality teaching
Our degree students rate our teaching quality highly – 82% say staff are enthusiastic and make the subject intellectually stimulating. Many subject areas have been ranked excellent by the national higher education quality watchdogs. We’ve also won five National Teaching Fellowships for excellence in teaching.
We’re affordable
We offer a generous financial package including a non-repayable bursary and scholarships. Living costs are low and we have some of the most affordable University-managed accommodation in the UK with free internet access.
A cutting-edge campus
We’ve invested pounds 100m in our campus. The pounds 12m Phoenix Building and the pounds 10m Athena Building, pictured left, opened in 2007, enhancing our reputation as a leading university for digital innovation. Add our brilliantly equipped Learning Resource Centre, pounds 6.5m centre for sport and top-notch forensic facilities and you have a dynamic learning environment.
Exceptionally enterprising
Our on-campus business units have helped launch 80 companies creating 150 jobs for graduates. Our new pounds 12m Phoenix Building provides first class facilities for new and established business ventures.
A great place to live
The Tees Valley is a fantastic place to live with coast and countryside on the doorstep. The hub of student night life is our award-winning Students’ Union right on campus.
