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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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