Student views

Moving from my home country to the UK and adjusting to a new culture while managing my studies at Teesside University has been a significant journey of growth. I developed critical, technical and professional skills, which allowed me to apply what I learned effectively.

Lessons are conducted in lecture rooms as well as industry-standard labs which give us practical hands-on experience and learning. Every session is different and thoroughly engaging, and the staff are very supportive.

Practical experience and placements were key components in my first year. I have also learnt the theory of patient-centred care – where everyone should be treated individually, putting the patient first.

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

I was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

The interdisciplinary nature of the course ensures that each student attains their individual learning outcome.

The university's staff and facilities, such as the Library, labs, Student Life and indoor sports are of international calibre.

What I appreciate most about my course is the blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. The modules are designed to be engaging and offer practical placement experience to train on the job while receiving constructive feedback through observations from tutors and mentors.

Teesside is innovative with excellent teaching, and a diverse culture putting students at the heart of everything.
