Student views

The highlight of my student experience has been realising how far I’ve come, something I couldn’t see at the beginning of my studies. I’ve developed skills I never thought I would, from technical tools to problem-solving and critical thinking.

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

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

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

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.

This combination appealed to me as it aligns perfectly with my career aspirations.

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

The school and its lecturers are top-notch at imparting knowledge, and Teesside has the environment and infrastructure to facilitate a positive student experience.

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