About

History

Founded as Constantine College, our institution was officially opened by the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII, on 2 July 1930. The college became Teesside Polytechnic in 1969, and in 1992 Teesside was granted University status. The University has grown significantly in recent years.

We generate and apply knowledge that contributes to the economic, social and cultural success of students, partners and the communities we serve. Through education enriched by research, innovation, and engagement with business and the professions, we transform lives and economies. We seek to enhance the experience of all our students, staff and external partners by:

  • Delivering excellence in learning, research and enterprise
  • Empowering individuals and teams to enhance their contribution to the University
  • Fostering creativity, enterprise and innovation
  • Embracing diversity and actively opposing prejudice

At Teesside University our focus is on externally facing research that makes a real, practical difference to the lives of people and the success of businesses and economies.

We work with a range of organisations from national governments to small businesses, and from multinational companies to NGOs and charities.

Our research addresses problems that range from complex, multi and inter-disciplinary 'Grand Challenges' focussed on some of the biggest issues of our time, through to highly focussed discipline based research within our Academic Schools and their Departments.
