“I really enjoyed my time studying at Middlesbrough College; I particularly liked the smaller-group learning and found the whole experience very personal and enjoyable. The staff were supportive in our tutorials and feedback sessions and would tell us what we needed to do and how we could improve for the future. We also had activities and educational trips thrown in the mix to support our development.
“I would definitely recommend studying a university course at Middlesbrough College, particularly to those like me who prefer learning in a smaller group.
“I decided to study a university course at Middlesbrough College to fulfil my career ambition of becoming a Primary School Teacher. I had worked as a teaching assistant for many years before I started my degree at Middlesbrough College, so the course was very fitting in what I wanted to achieve. I was able to complete the course whilst working full-time and raising my two children.
“I am currently studying towards my PGCE qualification; it’s exciting to be a step closer to becoming a primary school teacher.
“The skills I have learnt have been beneficial towards my career goals and I’ve made lifelong friends whilst studying at Middlesbrough College.”
