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

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

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

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

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

The University has such a wide range of extra-curriculum opportunities, which set you apart from other graduates.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The placements give you the best learning experiences as you work hands on with clients and learn from them and the professionals.

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

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