Health & Life Sciences

The course is really interesting, and I feel like I will be well prepared for my first job.

My life has transformed from the life of a shy girl from a working class background who comes from a foreign country and speaks a foreign language, to the life of a person who knows that through my hard work, I can live my dreams.

I think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.

The placements were invaluable and core to achieving and augmenting the theoretical aspects of the course.

I would 100% recommend Teesside University and my course to anyone applying. Chemistry offers so many different career possibilities and the academic staff are there to support you through the entire process.

I got on really well with my classmates and made a lot of good friends for life.

My time at uni was greatly enhanced by the support from wonderful lecturers who advised and prepared me for my career.

I loved how hands on the course was straight away. We were practising on phantom heads within a matter of weeks and learning practical skills.

The staff are excellent and pushed me to do my best and they give you their unconditional support.

Being on placement gives you an insight of what it is like to be working as a diagnostic radiographer and it helps you decide which speciality you want to focus on.

I love meeting new people and I've got an unrelenting need to be helpful, so nursing is the perfect profession for me.

I worked at the Royal Victoria Infirmary as a scrub ODP in spines, trauma, orthopaedics and neurospecialties.

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

Gaining my degree and meeting inspirational people was the essential catalyst to my career.

I gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

The opportunity to work with industry professionals and gain direct exposure to cutting-edge equipment and techniques through workshops and projects was invaluable. For anyone looking to advance their career in bioprocessing or biotherapeutics, Teesside University is a fantastic choice.

I have gained great experience and confidence in practical applications, particularly working in lab and medical situations.

This course provided me with the opportunity to design and conduct field work, giving me real hands-on experience. This was noted during my interview for RPS.

My time at Teesside gave me the confidence and capability to reach my goals. I am forever grateful for my time there and to everyone who supported me.

Being a sport scientist is about so much more than domain subject knowledge.

I can say with certainty that without the skills I acquired at Teesside, I would not have been able to secure my current job role or move to Canada.

I learned about the whole human body, from muscle groups to small chemical molecules. From this I found my skill was in microbiology and from there I knew what career I wanted.

I would recommend Teesside, it’s very supportive and there are so many opportunities available.

I would highly recommend Teesside for anyone who wants to gain a professional career in healthcare. The facilities are amazing, they have great connections with the NHS around the North East and staff are so supportive.

My time at Teesside allowed me to develop into a school nurse.

I would absolutely recommend Teesside to serving members of the military or those who have left. At the time of enrolling, I didn’t quite appreciate the support that I would be given throughout this course.

I recommend Teesside University 100%. For a UK university with top notch teaching and research facilities and yet very affordable think Teesside University.

I was provided with so many opportunities and I hope to be able pass this on by mentoring Teesside University students in the future.

This course prepared me extremely well for my career, allowing me to explore a range of modules and gain insight into what work may look like in different industries.

The placements give you the best learning experiences as you work hands on with clients and learn from them and the professionals.
