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.

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

I gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 learning experiences and course structure at Teesside excelled my career growth. It was the perfect mixture of principle and practical learning.

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

The support from the tutors is excellent. They are professional, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic.

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

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

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.

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.

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