I had an amazing time, achieved a first-class honours degree and now I’ve got my dream job.

One of my proudest achievements during my studies was being awarded the Philip Goodeve-Docker award from the Queen’s Nursing Institute.

I would absolutely recommend Teesside to serving members of the military or those who have left. At the time of enrolling, I didn’t quite appreciate the support that I would be given throughout this course.

The placements were invaluable and core to achieving and augmenting the theoretical aspects of the course.

The course is really interesting, and I feel like I will be well prepared for my first job.

My learning experiences and course structure at Teesside excelled my career growth. It was the perfect mixture of principle and practical learning.

My course was varied and covered a wide range of topics. Modules were delivered by knowledgeable lecturers who had a great deal of experience within the forensic science field.

This course prepared me extremely well for my career, allowing me to explore a range of modules and gain insight into what work may look like in different industries.

I love meeting new people and I've got an unrelenting need to be helpful, so nursing is the perfect profession for me.

I would recommend Teesside, it’s very supportive and there are so many opportunities available.

I recommend Teesside University 100%. For a UK university with top notch teaching and research facilities and yet very affordable think Teesside University.

Being on placement gives you an insight of what it is like to be working as a diagnostic radiographer and it helps you decide which speciality you want to focus on.

I have gained great experience and confidence in practical applications, particularly working in lab and medical situations.

This course equipped me with many valuable skills which allowed me to secure a job within the NHS and quickly adapt to my new role.

In addition to gaining valuable hands-on experience, and great networking opportunities, I studied and worked with like-minded individuals who share the same goals and ambitions as me.

I want to be able to inspire other international students, as well as students from different backgrounds, to dream big and never give up on their goals - education is truly the passport to the future.

The course is really interesting, and I feel like I will be well prepared for my first job.

I worked at the Royal Victoria Infirmary as a scrub ODP in spines, trauma, orthopaedics and neurospecialties.

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

I was provided with so many opportunities and I hope to be able pass this on by mentoring Teesside University students in the future.

I think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.

My time at uni was greatly enhanced by the support from wonderful lecturers who advised and prepared me for my career.

The opportunity to work with industry professionals and gain direct exposure to cutting-edge equipment and techniques through workshops and projects was invaluable. For anyone looking to advance their career in bioprocessing or biotherapeutics, Teesside University is a fantastic choice.

The strength and conditioning internship, and my undergraduate course as a whole, was outstanding – both were fundamental to my development.

I would recommend my course and profession all day long. There is nothing better than seeing the impact you’re making...

I'm proud to say I'm already living my ambitions and Teesside played a big part in making that happen.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

I got on really well with my classmates and made a lot of good friends for life.

My life has transformed from the life of a shy girl from a working class background who comes from a foreign country and speaks a foreign language, to the life of a person who knows that through my hard work, I can live my dreams.
