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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The placements were the best thing about my course. They provided a glimpse of what it’s like to be a qualified occupational therapist.

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

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

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

I recommend Teesside University 100%. For a UK university with top notch teaching and research facilities and yet very affordable think Teesside University.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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