Student views

I really enjoyed the theoretical modules as they were taught by some of the most influential criminologists in the country and their expertise was priceless.

I love the diverse nature of teaching English and helping learners from all backgrounds gain qualifications to help them progress to the next stage of their life.

Being able to enhance my knowledge and learn transferable skills has allowed me to move into the career I want.

Middlesbrough is a beautiful part of the country. I’ve been very happy being based here for my degree and my children have enjoyed their time here.

I’ve learnt that to make a student’s journey positive you need to use different teaching styles.

The flexibility and online materials are excellent, allowing me to access them at anytime, anywhere.

I love that I get to do a work-based placement alongside my course, I’m gaining first-hand experience of my chosen career path in primary schools.

I’m currently working with children and I wanted to expand my knowledge and skills to progress into a higher position.

The PGCE course was excellent and the level of teaching was exemplary.

I feel like I am constantly learning from my teachers, as well as developing relationships with them, this allows me to ask any questions I have.

The way the course is taught is great. You have plenty of support, not only from the staff but from your classmates as well.

For anyone who is considering doing some distance learning, I would definitely advocate it and I would absolutely champion and recommend Teesside University.

The course really helped me realise what I was passionate about.

The social activities, careers service and work experience opportunities gives Teesside University that extra edge that other universities don’t offer.

I’ve really enjoyed my Law Clinic module. This has involved gaining hands-on experience in the University’s working law clinic which members of the public can go to for legal advice.

The thing I most like about my course is, it’s really linked to the job I want to do.

I am responsible for investigating serious and complex crime and misconduct within the Armed Forces, both in the UK and whilst on military operations, such as Afghanistan.

I have had so many opportunities through studying at Teesside, as well as meeting incredible people, and I’ve learned so much.

Visiting an open day was really helpful. It gave me the reassurance that this was the place for me. I got to learn more about the course and see the facilities first hand.

Without this degree, I wouldn't be in my current role and wouldn't be in the position that I'm in today.

The facilities are the best I have experienced and the 24 hour library was a great help during my studies.'

Without my qualification or university experience I would not be where I am today. I have met some wonderful people and gained so much knowledge in different areas.

The library is one of the best aspects of the university. There are lots of quiet places that are great for when you want to crack on with some work.

I came from the US to work in Middlesbrough, and since I had some extra time on my hands I thought it would be nice to learn something new.

I lead the UN’s strategic response to cybercrime, money laundering and terrorist financing by delivering capacity building in over 70 countries.

Teesside is a fantastic place to live and choosing to study at Teesside University is something your future self will thank you for.

I find forensic psychology interesting because no two cases are the same, this makes the work varied and interesting.

I have had such amazing experiences during my time here. The teaching has been outstanding, it’s been incredible.

My degree has nurtured my skills and helped me develop new ones.

I came to Teesside to start a new chapter of my life on my own and ended up finding a family – Teesside feels like home.
