These include a refurbished library, Students’ Union and teaching spaces with exceptional facilities. New spaces on campus also include Campus Heart, connecting the North and South campus with a new outdoor space for events and activities.
The Business School also opened its new home in September 2018, including new collaborative work zones.
Over the next ten years, the university will continue to invest over GBP 300 million in campus spaces through the Campus Masterplan, on projects including:
Student Life Building – set for completion in 2019, it will put all students’ services in one location including a new employability centre to promote graduate outcomes.
National Horizons Centre – scheduled for completion in early 2019, this bioscience centre is based in the Darlington Campus and is a state-of-the-art facility for students from the School of Science, Engineering and Design. The centre will include a number of world-class laboratories and will be open to businesses, researchers, graduates and students, serving the future of bio-based industries in the UK.

Notable examples of this approach include:
Law students are given the opportunity to work in the Teesside Law Clinic, which makes legal advice, guidance and representation available for free to those in the community. It gives students the chance to practice law before leaving university, and work in partnership with lawyers, charities and the volunteer sector.
At the Business School, all undergraduate students based on the main campus have the chance to do work-related experience or to study abroad, and the school has a good relationship with leading global organisations such as Seimens, TedX and Visualsoft, as well as regional partners such as Middlesbrough FC.

The annual conference of workshops, talks, screenings, exhibitions and demonstrations emphasises networking between students, graduates and the industry, who send representatives and talent recruiters to the event.
The university received a silver rating in the Government’s 2017 Teaching Excellence Framework (138 universities were rated).
