Teesside University is honestly a good place to study, especially if you’re doing something practical like engineering. The lecturers are approachable and actually try to help rather than just reading off slides. The course structure makes sense and there’s a good balance between theory and hands on work. The campus is easy to get around and the facilities are modern, especially the labs and library. There are plenty of study spaces and resources which help a lot during coursework and exams. Student support is decent too, particularly for international students and people coming through foundation routes.

Great aspect is the modern facilities and learning environment. The campus is well-equipped with up-to-date labs and software resources, which is especially valuable for engineering students. The university also provides good academic support services and career guidance, helping students improve employability. Meanwhile, for something to improve the best will be expanding networking opportunities with more industry professionals and increasing internship connections would further enhance our careers.

My university experience has been both rewarding and challenging in different ways. One of the best aspects of my time at university has been the academic growth and practical learning opportunities. Studying Mechanical Engineering, especially progressing into my BEng top-up programme, has allowed me to deepen my technical knowledge and apply theory to real-world engineering problems. The lecturers are supportive and knowledgeable, and the facilities such as labs and software access have helped me develop industry-relevant skills. I have also enjoyed meeting people from different backgrounds, which has improved my communication skills and cultural awareness. University has helped me become more independent, responsible, and confident in managing my time and workload. Another great aspect is the support services available to students. Whether academic guidance, career advice, or wellbeing support, there are systems in place to help students succeed. The campus environment is welcoming and encourages both personal and professional development. One of the more challenging aspects has been balancing academic pressure with other responsibilities, especially during assignment deadlines and exam periods. Sometimes workload from multiple modules can feel intense. Additionally, while facilities are good, access to certain resources during peak times can be limited, which can make studying more difficult. Overall, my university experience has been very positive. The challenges have helped me grow stronger and more organised, and the supportive learning environment makes it a great place to study. Improvements could focus on spreading assessments more evenly and increasing access to study spaces during busy periods

This year has been strange and the university has seemed slow to adapt to the current situation. Lecturers have seemed as in the dark as students. Hopefully we can get fully back to campus soon

I have started my studies in January 2021, for MSc in Mechanical engineering with Advanced Practice. I can say, it's going excellent and fully satisfied with the module processor for making online study interesting.
