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

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.

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 uni was greatly enhanced by the support from wonderful lecturers who advised and prepared me for my career.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Teesside allowed me to complete my studies and continue with family life.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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 practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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