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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

The services are amazing, especially in career advice, student support and volunteering opportunities.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Being a sport scientist is about so much more than domain subject knowledge.

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

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

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

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.

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