Teesside University has been an amazing place to study - the facilities are second to none and the support systems are fabulous.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Being a sport scientist is about so much more than domain subject knowledge.

I would highly recommend Teesside for anyone who wants to gain a professional career in healthcare. The facilities are amazing, they have great connections with the NHS around the North East and staff are so supportive.

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.

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

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

I learned about the whole human body, from muscle groups to small chemical molecules. From this I found my skill was in microbiology and from there I knew what career I wanted.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

Teesside allowed me to complete my studies and continue with family life.
