At Teesside, our focus is on your career path, not just your graduation day. Our courses provide a high level of academic education combined with development of a wide range of practical skills. We emphasise team projects, problem solving and real-world case studies. We help blend theory and knowledge in the context of business, society and the environment – developing the skills employers value most.

Work ready

With foundation year degrees combine an integrated foundation year, ideal if you need additional preparation in the fundamental sciences and/or if you don’t have sufficient tariff points to join Year 1 of the degree directly.

With industry degrees offer you the opportunity to undertake an integrated placement year, gaining transferable industry experience.

Integrated master’s degrees (MEng) are four-year full-time courses with three years at undergraduate level and one year at master’s level that emphasises industry relevance.

Top-up degrees are one-year full-time courses allowing you to top-up a Higher National Diploma and Foundation Degree to an undergraduate degree.

Industry links

The North East of England hosts major international automotive, aerospace, engineering design, manufacturing and civil engineering industries, as well as a growing number of companies involved in power and renewable energy.

We work closely with employers from a wide range of sectors, with many involved in designing and delivering our curriculum to ensure our programmes remain relevant to industry and meet employer requirements.

Teesside is also a major international centre for the chemical and process industries, and home to some of the most advanced pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the world.



OPTIONAL WORK PLACEMENT YEAR

The optional work placement year available with our degree programmes helps you learn and develop your skills through work experience.

You have a dedicated work placement officer and the University’s award-winning careers service to help you with applying for a placement. Advice is also available on job hunting and networking, and we often invite employers in to come and talk about work placement opportunities.

By taking a work placement year you obtain the transferable skills required in a professional environment, including communication, negotiation, teamwork, leadership, work management, confidence, self-reliance, problem-solving, commercial awareness, and being able to work under pressure.

Other benefits include:> improved job prospects

> enhanced employment skills and improved career progression opportunities

> a higher starting salary than your full-time counterparts

> a better degree classification

> a richer CV

> a year’s salary before completing your degree

> experience of workplace culture

> the opportunity to design and base your final-year project within a working environment.

An increasing number of employers view a work placement as a year-long interview and, as a result, placements are increasingly becoming an essential part of many employers’ pre-selection strategy in their graduate recruitment process.

We produce graduates with the creative, problem-solving and leadership skills necessary to forge successful careers.



We offer unique and distinctive styles of courses with one aim in mind – to develop the next generation of problem solvers, innovators and leaders that employers and society need.

We provide you with an excellent student experience and, at the same time, equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence that will launch you on your chosen career path.

To join a degree apprenticeship you must be employed and your employer must be willing to support you.

Degree apprenticeships combine work with study for a work-based higher education qualification, offering you an alternative to a traditional university degree course.

HIGHER AND DEGREE APPRENTICESHIPS

Employers also recruit new apprentices from those leaving school or college, and from our current student pool; so you can join a degree as a full-time or part-time student financed by a student loan and keep trying to find employment whilst you are on your degree.

Several employers are already members of our Advanced Entry Degree Apprenticeship (AdEDA) scheme bringing them in touch with our students who are seeking employment and a degree apprenticeship position.

Why chemical engineering?

From secondary school, I was always interested in making things and understanding how things worked. I chose chemical engineering because I was exposed to industrial projects that focused on turning raw materials into useful products by establishing the right process and plant to use. The breadth of the subjects, from analytical chemistry to mechanical design, allowed me to go down a number of paths.

Why Teesside University?

I chose Teesside University as my secondary school recommended it and the engineering department has a really good reputation. After doing some research I found that Middlesbrough is near a lot of industry and the University has great links

with these companies, including chemical plants. I felt this was the best option for me.

Best thing about your course and the University?

I found that the course was very practical as well as theoretical. The facilities are also close to what we use in industry. It helps students to really understand what they will need and what skills they will need to go into industry and operate equipment, for example, optimisation equipment for rigs. Teesside University has a really good research facility.

The course helped me to get a better understanding of what industry is really like. It wasn’t just theoretical – I could see what it would be like in the real world.

NURIA MANUEL

BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering graduate Reliability Engineer, Cummins

What are you doing now?

I currently work at Cummins as a Graduate Reliability Engineer at the Darlington engine plant. My role involves managing international and regional-based projects related to hardware or software field failures from a variety of different sectors on off-highway and on-highway applications.

I visit customer sites to identify issues and collect any necessary data. I then implement a temporary solution, which is dependent on the failure, confirm the potential cause(s) before finally developing a permanent solution to eliminate the issue.

Some projects require leading and working together with a team, while others are worked on independently.

‘The course is really interesting and there are a good mix of subjects – not every module is

highly technical. The lecturers have impressive experience, either from external projects they

have worked on or University-supported research, and they make reference to projects undertaken

to make the theory relevant.’
