Overview
Shortlisted for our University of the Year title, Teesside University is central to the regeneration of this former industrial heartland, reinventing Middlesbrough for the next industrial revolution. University education here is practice driven; employers have a considerable hand in shaping courses and Teesside’s degree portfolio is designed to meet the local, national and international needs of business. Employability modules are embedded into the curriculum rather than being an optional extra. The university precinct, close to the town centre, has been given a thorough makeover. Roads have been pedestrianised and landmark buildings erected in the past decade, creating a buzzing campus that also includes off-site gems such as the university-run Mima (the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art). Teesside is the most socially inclusive university of its size in England with around a third of its students recruited from the postcodes (essentially local ones) with the lowest rates of progression to university in the country. It acknowledges the challenges facing this demographic through its offer of a free iPad to every new student on enrolment, a unique feature in British higher education. A university with its ear to the ground, it is one of the leading providers of earn-while-you-learn degree apprenticeships in England. There are plans to add another 450 apprentices to its books in the next 12 months, bringing the total to 2,800, through the introduction of new programmes including arts therapist, artificial intelligence data specialist, game programmer and bioinformatics scientist.

Paying the bills
Giving a free iPad fully loaded with Microsoft Office 365 and a wireless keyboard to every undergraduate puts Teesside into a class of its own – and every student into a class with the digital technology they need. While it is a considerable expense for the university, it removes digital poverty at a stroke and provides a common means of computing across the entire campus that Teesside backs up with technical support for all. The university is unique, therefore, in providing additional support for every student. The argument that not all students need financial (or in-kind) support is less relevant here where so many of the intake tick one or more boxes for widening participation characteristics. Nevertheless, there are also a small number of cash-based scholarships open to students. The Tees Valley Community Foundation Scholarship is worth £7,500 across three years and is open to applications from students on construction management and all types of engineering degrees who come from a TS (Teesside) postcode. The £9,000 (£3,000 a year) Professor Jane Turner Scholarship for women applicants to the business school has the same postcode stipulation. The two Brittan Scholarships, in memory of former Teesside chancellor and Conservative home secretary, Leon Brittan, are open to applicants to courses in the school of computing, engineering and digital technologies who achieve at least AAB at A-level. The decision on who gets the two awards is based on an outline of financial circumstances given in the application and other applicant data. Recent additions to the university’s accommodation stock means there are now 1,000 rooms available on campus, starting at £3,400 for a 40-week contract. Teesside is among a small minority of institutions to have accommodation priced at less than £4,000 per year.

What’s new?
The central Middlesbrough campus has been transformed in the past decade with the addition of numerous landmark buildings and cutting-edge facilities. The latest addition, Bios, opens for this academic year for the university’s school of health and life sciences. The science, health and medical facility contains laboratory space for anatomy, imaging, microbiology, chemistry, allied health, and food sciences. A clinical skills floor contains a simulated operating department practice suite, while a separate wellbeing floor provides new facilities for oral health, where Teesside has a considerable presence. Elsewhere a Net Zero Innovation Centre will become a hub for industrial decarbonisation and a national centre of excellence for net zero technologies, a field in which the university has a growing reputation. If Middlesbrough is not for you, Teesside University London might be. The new campus at Here East, housed in the former media centre for the London Olympics in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, brings a suite of courses in computer games and animation, business and computer science to a new market, 250 miles from the mothership. Teaching is delivered by a combination of face-to-face and online methods.

Admissions, teaching and student support
Teesside has among the most socially inclusive student populations of any university, attracting more than 80% of its students from within the North East and more particularly from within the Tees Valley – the English region where progression to university is lowest. It works in many schools and colleges where university is not considered the natural destination after leaving school and helps prospective students with personal statement writing and interview preparation, along with more general work to raise aspirations. It uses the foundation year route to enrol students who are significantly below the lowest tariff requirements to join the first year of degree programmes and has enough flexibility in its course offer ranges to take account of contextual information in applications without having to have a formal contextual admissions policy that cuts tariffs by a fixed number of points for specific categories of student. That it achieves this without a crippling drop-out rate (the one in eight who fail to complete their courses is bang on the expected level given the social profile of its intake and the subject mix) is testimony to the thoroughness of its admissions policy. The Student Life Building is home to the support structures around mental health, which students can access all year round, day and night. Staff work with students to create a personalised support plan, help them to settle into the academic and social demands of university life, and liaise with academic schools and staff regarding any course-related issues that could impact on student wellbeing. All teaching provision has reverted to being on campus in the wake of the pandemic with only pre-approved online or blended learning courses operating to a different model, although Teesside will continue to explore potential hybrid learning models for the future.
