Gaining my degree and meeting inspirational people was the essential catalyst to my career.

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.

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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