Recognition & Media Coverage
We're delighted say that Teesside University Students' Union (TUSU) consistently attracts a range of national recognition each year, most of which is based on the excellent feedback we receive from current or recent students at Teesside University. We also enjoy an excellent relationship with local, regional and national media resulting in extensive coverage of our events, activities and achievements every academic year. Find out more below.
Best Bar None Scheme
The Best Bar None Scheme, run by The National Union of Students (NUS), recognises Students' Unions with best practice and exceptional standards of staff training in their Licensed Trade departments. TUSU has secured gold status for the past five years and been accredited for over a decade, recognising our responsible approach to serving alcohol and running safe, welcoming venues with bars and night clubs in them.
Times Higher Student Experience Survey
The THES is one of the biggest and most respected student surveys around. Students at Teesside University consistently rate the services, events and facilities provided by TUSU highly each year and in 2018 we again secured a Top 10 ranking, finishing higher than any other Students' Union in the North East.
What Uni
Students also consistently place TUSU in the top 10 in the nationally recognised What Uni Student Choice Awards. Students are asked to rate the SU across a range of criteria including facilities, resources and the support available, the SU was also shortlisted for Students' Union of the year in the 2018 awards.
International Student Barometer (ISB)
The ISB gives international students a chance to reflect on the support, facilities and resources provided to them by the University and Students' Unions. We've enjoyed very high ratings for the past five years and secured a ranking equivalent to number 1 in the UK in 2018! We're delighted to keep providing a first rate experience for students who sometimes needs extra help settling in to student life and the local community.
