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.

The support from the tutors is excellent. They are professional, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic.

I loved how hands on the course was straight away. We were practising on phantom heads within a matter of weeks and learning practical skills.

I chose to do my master’s at Teesside University because I was impressed with its links with industry.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

The placements were the best thing about my course. They provided a glimpse of what it’s like to be a qualified occupational therapist.

The lecturers are amazing – they absolutely make university life what it is.

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

The classes inspired me to study and helped to boost my confidence.

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.

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

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

I am grateful for the exceptional support I received during my master's.

Completing it allowed me to progress from a community staff nurse to a district nurse in my workplace.

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

My further learning at Teesside University provided me with confidence and the ability to articulate gained knowledge.

I can say with certainty that without the skills I acquired at Teesside, I would not have been able to secure my current job role or move to Canada.

The university is very accommodating and supportive of students, especially for those studying a degree alongside a full or part time job.

My time at Teesside gave me the confidence and capability to reach my goals. I am forever grateful for my time there and to everyone who supported me.

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

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

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

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