Teesside University became one of the first new universities in June 1992 and entered a period of rapid change and staggering progress. Student numbers more than doubled - from just under 8,000 to over 20,000 in 2005 - and nearly £100m has been spent to create a 21st century campus. Originally founded as Constantine College, the institution was officially opened in 1930. The college became a polytechnic in 1969 and in 1992 the Privy Council gave approval to 14 higher education institutions, including Teesside, to become new universities. The single-site campus in the centre of Middlesbrough still includes the original Constantine College building but the University has since grown more than twenty-fold.
Today it is a dynamic, modern university dedicated to delivering quality programmes of study. It was the highest placed modern university in North East England and gained a top 20 score in The Times Higher Education Supplement for overall student satisfaction. Students rated their learning resources among the best nationally and gave academic support a top 20 score.
The School of Computing has an Excellent rating for teaching quality on its courses from HEFCE - the Higher Education Funding Council for England. It is also a centre of excellence in Computing, Games and Animation, and Web and Multimedia.
**Teesside University was recently named "University of the Year" in the Times Higher Education Awards.**
