Teesside is local, our course modules are well set out. The only I would change would be the team project we have to do in 1st year. This has caused problems this year for some students. The teams are put together by the university and some people haven't been turning up for them.

One of our seminars is taught in the tower, the lecturer we have for this does not engage with students, she puts work up on board then we have to read through it and work put what we should be doing. We have not been shown a draft of a previous assessment or CV which other seminar groups have. For the module Becoming a social scientist we need more interaction from lecturer

Teesside University has a community feel about it. Lecturers genuinely care about how well you're doing at your course, they also always offer pastoral care when you attend meetings with them. In the Psychology department we have staff with impressive resumes and standing in the academic community. Teesside isn't a bad location, it's particularly back down south is poor but this is outdated.
