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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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