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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 time at university played a significant role in preparing me for my career.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
