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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The University has such a wide range of extra-curriculum opportunities, which set you apart from other graduates.

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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 had an amazing time, achieved a first-class honours degree and now I’ve got my dream job.

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.

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.

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.
