Student views

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

My course didn’t just provide technical knowledge, it shaped how I think, solve problems and approach real-world challenges. The practical projects, presentations, and the opportunity to work with digital tools and gain hands-on lab experience helped me become more confident and prepared for industry expectations.

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