Hear from our students!
"I looked around a lot of places, the reason I chose this one is because it had the highest teaching standard award and the longest contact time with my lecturers, and it also had the biggest studio spaces. The student life in Hartlepool is quite vibrant. When I came here I was worried i'd be lonely and make no friends but it's the complete opposite"
