Teesside University

Celebrating 80 years of education Teesside University, based in Middlesborough, UK, has been awarded a range of awards from silver rating in the government’s new Teaching Excellence Framework to being ranked in the 801-1000 band of global universities in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020.

Teesside is also one of only a few universities in the UK to have been awarded the nationally recognised Customer First accreditation for its services to business. This is the fourth time that Teesside has received the Customer First standard, which lasts for two years. Each time it is reaccredited, the University must demonstrate how it has continuously improved.

Teesside University has also been awarded for its contribution to research. The University has retained the European Commission’s HR in Excellence in Research Award following a two year self-assessment. The award is given to organisations which can demonstrate a robust and public implementation strategy of improving the career development of researchers. The UK process incorporates both the QAA Quality Code for Higher Education and the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers. The UK approach includes ongoing national evaluation and benchmarking.
