A new structure came into place in February 1998 to take the School forward into developing areas. The School is located entirely on the University's main site, close to the centre of Middlesbrough. Seventy full-time academic staff, supported by 42 technicians and 12 administrative staff, provide a range of courses attracting more than 2000 students. Bridging facilities which allow the transfer of students between courses are an important feature of the integrated set of courses offered.
Some courses have a European involvement.
Our graduates and diplomats are in great demand and the School's unwavering commitment to excellence, typified by sponsorship prizes and involvement of key industrialists, will ensure that such demand will continue, not only from the UK but, increasingly from other EC member states. In addition, the School has a proven record of attracting important research grants and European funding. Further information on the School research and consultancy activities is detailed in the Annual School Research Report. The School has an established reputation for the provision of quality courses, research and consultancy. It is ever eager to enhance this reputation by the pursuit of developments linking these activities.
