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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

I got on really well with my classmates and made a lot of good friends for life.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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 would recommend my course and profession all day long. There is nothing better than seeing the impact you’re making...

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

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