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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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 think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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.

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.
