History
Founded as Constantine College, our institution was officially opened by the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII, on 2 July 1930. The college became Teesside Polytechnic in 1969, and in 1992 Teesside was granted University status. The University has grown significantly in recent years.

My Teesside Study Experience
Christiana Otobotekere rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
