Student views

Practical experience and placements were key components in my first year. I have also learnt the theory of patient-centred care – where everyone should be treated individually, putting the patient first.

The school and its lecturers are top-notch at imparting knowledge, and Teesside has the environment and infrastructure to facilitate a positive student experience.

Lessons are conducted in lecture rooms as well as industry-standard labs which give us practical hands-on experience and learning. Every session is different and thoroughly engaging, and the staff are very supportive.

The tutors were very encouraging and always there to support me to create work that felt true to my values and creative voice.

I was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

What I appreciate most about my course is the blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. The modules are designed to be engaging and offer practical placement experience to train on the job while receiving constructive feedback through observations from tutors and mentors.

The highlight of my student experience has been realising how far I’ve come, something I couldn’t see at the beginning of my studies. I’ve developed skills I never thought I would, from technical tools to problem-solving and critical thinking.

Teesside is innovative with excellent teaching, and a diverse culture putting students at the heart of everything.

The staff are excellent and pushed me to do my best and they give you their unconditional support.
