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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Teesside allowed me to complete my studies and continue with family life.

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

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.

My time at Teesside allowed me to develop into a school nurse.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.

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.

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.

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 loved how hands on the course was straight away. We were practising on phantom heads within a matter of weeks and learning practical skills.
