Student views

The services are amazing, especially in career advice, student support and volunteering opportunities.

This combination appealed to me as it aligns perfectly with my career aspirations.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Moving from my home country to the UK and adjusting to a new culture while managing my studies at Teesside University has been a significant journey of growth. I developed critical, technical and professional skills, which allowed me to apply what I learned effectively.
