| The University of Teesside was originally founded as Constantine College 75 years ago. The institution was officially opened by the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VIII, on July 2, 1930. The college became a polytechnic in 1969 and in 1992, became one of the first new universities and entered a period of rapid change and staggering progress. Student numbers more than doubled, from just under 8,000 to over 20,000 in 2005, and over £70 million has been spent to create a 21st century campus |

The university is located on a single campus in the lively and exciting town of Middlesbrough (population 140,000). The town is located on the River Tees in the North East of England. |
