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.

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

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

Being a sport scientist is about so much more than domain subject 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 worked at the Royal Victoria Infirmary as a scrub ODP in spines, trauma, orthopaedics and neurospecialties.

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.
