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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 Teesside, it’s very supportive and there are so many opportunities available.

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.

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

I had an amazing time, achieved a first-class honours degree and now I’ve got my dream 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.
