Student views

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

If you are looking for a university which values each individual student and offers a warm welcome, then I believe Teesside University may be the right place for you.

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

The university's staff and facilities, such as the Library, labs, Student Life and indoor sports are of international calibre.

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.

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.

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

There is a mixture of classroom sessions and practical exercises designed to put you in real life scenarios that you work your way through.

My course didn’t just provide technical knowledge, it shaped how I think, solve problems and approach real-world challenges. The practical projects, presentations, and the opportunity to work with digital tools and gain hands-on lab experience helped me become more confident and prepared for industry expectations.

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