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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

My time at university played a significant role in preparing me for my career.

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

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

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

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.

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.
