after being named the best in Britain. It
was named University of the Year at the

University of Nottingham, Bournemouth University,
the University of Warwick, the University of
Winchester and Queen Mary, University of London.
The award means Teesside has become the first
modern university to win the title.
As well as the University of the Year crown, the
university was also awarded the Outstanding
Employer Engagement Initiative Award.
Vice-chancellor Graham Henderson said: "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
this award 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.
"We are confident winning this award will go a
long way towards changing perceptions � not just of
the university but of the town and the Tees Valley,
nationally and internationally."
The accolades come as the university continues to
invest in its operations in the Tees Valley � offering
further education opportunities and expanding
