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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
