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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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