Health & Life Sciences

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 want to be able to inspire other international students, as well as students from different backgrounds, to dream big and never give up on their goals - education is truly the passport to the future.

I had an amazing time, achieved a first-class honours degree and now I’ve got my dream job.

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

My time at university played a significant role in preparing me for my career.

My course was varied and covered a wide range of topics. Modules were delivered by knowledgeable lecturers who had a great deal of experience within the forensic science field.

The placements were the best thing about my course. They provided a glimpse of what it’s like to be a qualified occupational therapist.

My learning experiences and course structure at Teesside excelled my career growth. It was the perfect mixture of principle and practical learning.

The University has such a wide range of extra-curriculum opportunities, which set you apart from other graduates.

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.

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.

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

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

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

I am grateful for the exceptional support I received during my master's.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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

Teesside University has been an amazing place to study - the facilities are second to none and the support systems are fabulous.

My further learning at Teesside University provided me with confidence and the ability to articulate gained knowledge.

This course equipped me with many valuable skills which allowed me to secure a job within the NHS and quickly adapt to my new role.
