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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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

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.

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

I would recommend my course and profession all day long. There is nothing better than seeing the impact you’re making...

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.

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.

The placements were the best thing about my course. They provided a glimpse of what it’s like to be a qualified occupational therapist.

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 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.

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.

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

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