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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

I chose to do my master’s at Teesside University because I was impressed with its links with industry.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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