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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 recommend my course and profession all day long. There is nothing better than seeing the impact you’re making...

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
