Student views

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.

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

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.

I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of studying here – come and have a great experience. There is no better place than Teesside for the campus and student satisfaction.

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 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.

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.

The degree’s unique attribute lies in its ability to provide a nurturing environment where creative freedom flourishes, empowering individuals to boldly express their ideas while benefiting from expert guidance throughout the transformative process.
