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.

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

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

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

My time at uni was greatly enhanced by the support from wonderful lecturers who advised and prepared me for my career.

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

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

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

I was provided with so many opportunities and I hope to be able pass this on by mentoring Teesside University students in the future.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.
