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 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.

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

This course provided me with the opportunity to design and conduct field work, giving me real hands-on experience. This was noted during my interview for RPS.

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

I gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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 university played a significant role in preparing 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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