Why did you choose Teesside?

Teesside university representatives came to my high school in Romania and gave a presentation about the courses, facilities, and the campus. After talking to the teachers, themselves I was really impressed by what the university was offering, and I decided to apply.

What did you like most about your course?

I would say all my teachers are really special people, who guided and inspired me, but were also keen on having conversations with the students about the topics we were taught. I felt supported by them, and viewed them as not just tutors, but mentors.

Did your time at Teesside University help you to achieve your goals?

Teesside University helped me bring my skills to a high level. It also helped me explore my passions and discover new ambitions and gave me the tools I needed to achieve my goals.

What did you think about the facilities and teaching staff?

I appreciated the fact that the University offered support in so many ways, from the library to the career’s services. It made a huge difference for me especially because when I came here, like most students, I was going through the transition between being a teenager to becoming a young adult. Having so many people advising me and pointing me in the right direction was exactly what I needed.

Would you recommend Teesside University?

I would truly recommend my course to anybody with a passion for writing and a desire to challenge themselves.

Is there anything else you’d like to tell us about your time at Teesside University?

I enjoyed my four years at Teesside University very much. So far, I would call them the best years of my life.
