Teesside University's origins lie in Constantine Technical College, which opened in Middlesbrough in 1930. It became Teesside Polytechnic in 1969, gained university status in 1992 and has used its current name since 2009. More than 20,000 students study with the university, whose main campus is in central Middlesbrough and whose London campus is at Here East, part of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Its five schools are the International Business School; Arts and Creative Industries; Health and Life Sciences; Computing, Engineering and Digital Technologies; and Social Sciences, Humanities and Law.
Subjects range across fields including aerospace, engineering, computing, animation, psychology, health, business and accounting. Many degrees can be studied with an integrated foundation year, and foundation degrees and higher national qualifications are also available. Its research addresses three themes, namely health and wellbeing, people and place, and net zero. Teesside has a reputation for working closely with employers and industry, and Times Higher Education has named it University of the Year on two occasions.
Information for International Students
Teesside maintains a dedicated international team. The university website explains how applicants obtain their Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) as well as the compliance requirements for sponsored students. The university delivers pre-sessional English programmes of its own, which carry British Council accreditation: a course on campus in Middlesbrough, six-week and 12-week courses online, and a blended option. Entry levels depend on course length and on the score required for the chosen degree, and all pre-sessional students must be 18 or older. English support continues in-sessionally during degree study. International students can also follow a UK Higher Education Immersion Programme as a further route, and many degrees include an integrated foundation year.
In the main arrival periods, new international students who book in advance are collected free of charge at Teesside International Airport and Newcastle International Airport, and staff then help with onward travel and collecting keys on campus. University accommodation provides around 900 beds, all no more than about five minutes' walk from the campus, with 24-hour support and bills included. Scholarships are offered to international students, and the Graduate Route is open to eligible graduates.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Teesside University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Teesside University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Teesside University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
