The social activities, careers service and work experience opportunities gives Teesside University that extra edge that other universities don’t offer.

I liked that the course was flexible and allowed me to juggle studying and training full time.

I was encouraged to follow my dreams and given some excellent advice.

The best part about the course was the supportive environment between classmates and the tutors. We worked hard, built a great supportive network and were a tight-knit group that could trust each other with our writing.

I have had so many opportunities through studying at Teesside, as well as meeting incredible people, and I’ve learned so much.

The modules were unique and interesting. The lecturers are genuinely great people too, continuing to support me and my business after I graduated.

The facilities are the best I have experienced and the 24 hour library was a great help during my studies.'

For anyone who is considering doing some distance learning, I would definitely advocate it and I would absolutely champion and recommend Teesside University.

I really enjoyed the theoretical modules as they were taught by some of the most influential criminologists in the country and their expertise was priceless.

As a result of Teesside University's investment in me, I have held several senior roles in heritage, strong ambitions to pursue a PhD, and am currently employed in a hugely satisfying role helping my local community.

Teesside helped me explore my passions and discover new ambitions and gave me the tools I needed to achieve my goals.

The best thing about the course was the enthusiasm of the lecturers. They encouraged me not only to write, but to broaden my reading. Teesside introduced me to a community of writers, there’s lots going on for writers in the area.

Without my qualification or university experience I would not be where I am today. I have met some wonderful people and gained so much knowledge in different areas.

Teesside is a lot more friendly than the bigger university I was at before, so it fit my learning style much better.

The PGCE course was excellent and the level of teaching was exemplary.

I found the course challenging and enjoyable.

I loved my course, especially the forensic classes which were amazing.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my three years here, so much so that I have accepted a place to study a postgraduate degree.

I have had such amazing experiences during my time here. The teaching has been outstanding, it’s been incredible.

The teaching staff are always incredibly helpful and understanding and helped me to better realise my potential.

The campus is fantastic, full of resources, and the staff are supportive, accommodating, approachable and extremely knowledgeable.

I loved every minute, which is why I want to come back.

I completed my Bachelor of Laws degree at Teesside and when it came to postgraduate study, it was the only university I considered. I had a great experience when studying for my undergraduate degree, the University has an excellent reputation and is on my doorstep, it was an easy choice.

I am responsible for investigating serious and complex crime and misconduct within the Armed Forces, both in the UK and whilst on military operations, such as Afghanistan.

The course is incredible, with teaching staff who are so knowledgeable, supportive and hands-on. I could not have asked for a nicer university experience.

I gained a diverse array of richly transferrable knowledge and skills, as well as forging friendships and the opportunity to research and contribute to academic conferences internationally.
