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

Being a sport scientist is about so much more than domain subject knowledge.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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