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

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

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.

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

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

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 think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.
