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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

The staff are excellent and pushed me to do my best and they give you their unconditional support.

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

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