Careers fortnight

7 - 17 November

Thinking ahead to life after uni? Careers fortnight can help you explore your next steps. The two-week event gives you the chance to meet with employers from a huge range of organisations and learn more about your options. Meet employers from the armed forces, creative arts, the engineering sector, law and policing and more. It’s all happening from 7 to 17 November in the Student Life Building.

Join a society for free

Our Students’ Union has an amazing range of societies – and this academic year, you can join them for free! It’s a great way to meet new people, develop new skills and have fun. From academic to cultural to hobbies and interests, there’s something for everyone. And if there isn’t a society for your particular interest, they’ll even help you set one up. Get in touch at activities@tees-su.org.uk.

Seasonal illness

At this time of year, we see an increase in cold, flu and respiratory infections. And if you’ve been unlucky enough to be struck down with ‘Freshers Flu’, you’ll know it can be rough! So, maintain good hygiene practices to limit the spread of infection, especially as we spend more time indoors this autumn and winter. Sneeze and cough into tissues, limit close contact, wash your hands and sanitise regularly. If you’re unwell, stay at home. If you test positive for Covid-19, you’re still encouraged to report it.

Personal safety – tell us what you think

The University is working with our local Police and Crime Commissioner’s Safer Streets initiative to understand student perceptions of safety on our Middlesbrough campus. Our aim is to make sure you are aware of all of safety services available and whether you have any concerns we should know about. Take the two-minute survey to be in with the chance of winning an Amazon voucher.

No smoking campus

We have a no smoking policy that supports our aim of a smoke-free campus. Help us provide a healthy environment for everyone by not smoking anywhere on our campus.

Vaping is also prohibited in all University buildings and at the entrances, exits and ground floor windows of our buildings.
