History

Actually, Teesside University's history began in 1844. At that time, plans were being made for a mechanics' institute; however, a lack of funding prevented them from becoming reality. The story continues because additional financial constraints prevented the launch of the unlit 1926. The Constantine Technical College officially opened its doors to students in 1930 after construction work started in 1927. From that point on, the College underwent significant modifications and advancements until 1969, when Teesside Polytechnic was founded.

In the years that followed, additional building acquisitions and expansions were made. Another name change for Teesside Polytechnic occurred in 1992 as a result of the institution obtaining university status and changing its name to Teesside University. Following the Further and Higher Education Act, this decision was followed.
