Student views

As an international master’s student, the most valuable experience at Teesside has been the facilities. I have had access to the newest industry standard software, and technology.

If you are looking for a university which values each individual student and offers a warm welcome, then I believe Teesside University may be the right place for you.

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.

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.

There is a mixture of classroom sessions and practical exercises designed to put you in real life scenarios that you work your way through.

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.

The tutors were very encouraging and always there to support me to create work that felt true to my values and creative voice.

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

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.
