The campus is well-connected to the rest of the UK by public transport, with historic cities, stunning countryside and beautiful coastlines close by. You can reach London, Manchester and Edinburgh in under three hours by train.

Teesside University is a safe and friendly place where you’ll soon feel at home. As an international student, you have access to a free meet and greet service when you arrive at the airport, we guarantee to help international students who apply before 1 September of the year they start with affordable student housing within easy reach of the University.

We offer a range of support services to help you settle in and make friends, including orientation activities, social events and trips, health advice and support with personal or academic difficulties.

To study at a British university and to enrol on a course in our School, you need a high level of English. You will need to be able to confidently write academic essays and reports, listen to lectures and take notes, summarise academic texts, give presentations and take part in discussions. Therefore, for courses that lead to professional registration you will need to have IELTS 7.0 to meet professional and statutory body requirements, which allows you to apply for registration once you have successfully completed a course. Once you begin your full degree programme, you also have access to free-of-charge English language classes and services to help you continue to improve.

We offer a range of generous scholarships and discounts for international students, details of which can be found on our website.
