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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 had an amazing time, achieved a first-class honours degree and now I’ve got my dream job.

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