New London campus to deliver on Teesside University’s global ambitions

Teesside University has unveiled “ambitious” plans to establish a new London campus to further support global opportunities for students.

Based at London’s Here East, at the former media centre for the Olympic Village, the new campus will provide students with access to and from major hubs across the capital and help build on “already thriving” global networks.

With an initial focus on digital technologies and enterprise, Teesside University London capitalises on the University’s strengths in animation and games design and directly links the “thriving” digital cluster of Middlesbrough, with existing partners based in London.

The London campus will provide a gateway for Teesside University students to access the opportunities of the UK’s capital, levelling-up opportunity and supporting their future success.

Vice-chancellor and chief executive of Teesside University, Professor Paul Croney, OBE, commented: “Teesside University is a solutions-focused, global University, with a mission to transform lives and economies.

“Through our international networks, we ensure our students enjoy an international dimension to their studies, offering a range of opportunities with partners in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

“We are now building on that with Teesside University London which will provide us with another avenue to deliver ambition today. Our aspiration is to allow more students to access our facilities, expertise and unique learning experience.”

The announcement of Teesside University London comes as Teesside University recently celebrated climbing 32 places in the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023, placing it as the top North East university for student experience.

The University was also ranked the best in the world for international student experience out of 96 global institutions in the International Student Barometer 2021 survey.

Professor Craig Gaskell, pro vice-chancellor (Enterprise & Knowledge Exchange) at Teesside University, added: “Teesside University is committed to delivering an excellent student and learning experience, and takes a proactive approach to developing student entrepreneurship and supporting students to realise and achieve their potential.

“Teesside University London will enhance our ability to engage directly with business and bring new opportunities for industry engagement for all of our students.”
