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

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

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

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

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 loved how hands on the course was straight away. We were practising on phantom heads within a matter of weeks and learning practical skills.

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 practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
