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

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

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

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 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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

I want to be able to inspire other international students, as well as students from different backgrounds, to dream big and never give up on their goals - education is truly the passport to the future.

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

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.

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

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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