Applying for a full-time course at Middlesbrough College or TTE is easy – here are the 6 steps you need to take.
How to apply
You can apply for a course at any time through the academic year, however, the sooner you apply, the better your chances of securing a place!
Please note, we have a deadline for applications on our Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, and Renewable Energy Engineering courses of 25th January 2027. Any applications submitted after this date will be placed on a waiting list.
