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

My time at Teesside allowed me to develop into a school nurse.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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.

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

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.

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

I would 100% recommend Teesside University and my course to anyone applying. Chemistry offers so many different career possibilities and the academic staff are there to support you through the entire process.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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