Teesside University wins University of the Year!19 Oct 2009

Great news from our accrediting university.

The Vice-Chancellor is delighted to announce that Teesside University won both University of the Year and the Outstanding Employer Engagement Initiative Award at last night’s Times Higher Education Awards.
 
“Teesside is the first modern university to ever receive recognition as the University of the Year. It was therefore both an amazing moment and a huge personal honour for me to be able to accept these awards on behalf of my University.  I really cannot put into words how proud everyone at the University feels at having been given such a wonderful accolade.  There is, as I am sure you can imagine, a tremendous buzz around the campus because of this achievement. I am sure that I speak for the whole University community – our staff, students, Governors and our many partners – when I say we all feel a sense of pride and elation that our achievements have been recognised in this way. To win such a major national award in competition with such outstanding institutions shows how far we have come in this our 80th year. We started our journey from quite humble roots, first as Constantine College, then as Teesside Polytechnic and now as Teesside – the University of the Year.”

As we have just completed  our first year in collaboration with Teesside, we at the Primary Care Training Centre are delighted to offer our congratulations to everyone at the University.
