As one of the UK's leading universities, our reputation rests on the quality of our teaching, our outstanding research, and the services we provide for business and industry.

We continually strive for innovation and excellence in our teaching and learning, with a focus on skills development — our students can fully pursue their interests in an exciting yet supportive environment.

These strengths are underpinned by substantial, on going investment in infrastructure and facilities for both our staff and students.

The University is also deeply involved in the regional economic strategy, with strong links with industry and commerce. As one of Britain's largest civic universities, we are closely integrated into the economic, cultural and social life of the North East, and play a major role in the local community.
