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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I would absolutely recommend Teesside to serving members of the military or those who have left. At the time of enrolling, I didn’t quite appreciate the support that I would be given throughout this course.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.
