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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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