Where is Teesside University?
Teesside University International Study Centre is based on a friendly, town-centre campus in Middlesbrough, a large town in north-east England.
The campus occupies a single site in the heart of the town, so all university buildings are within walking distance, and it’s very easy to explore the town too. Middlesbrough offers an interesting history, access to culture, and striking nearby scenery.
There has been £270m invested in the University campus over recent years, with plans to invest a further £300m. This means you will benefit from a world-class, digitally enabled teaching and learning experience while at university.

Our students say...
"I opted for Teesside because I wanted to be away from the hustle. I think that when you are making the transition to a new country, a new place, if you arrive in a hustling place, you'd find it more difficult. I wanted to be at a university and a place which is slower moving, to take my own time."
