Health & Life Sciences

The strength and conditioning internship, and my undergraduate course as a whole, was outstanding – both were fundamental to my development.

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 support from the tutors is excellent. They are professional, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic.

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 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.

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

I'm proud to say I'm already living my ambitions and Teesside played a big part in making that happen.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

The classes inspired me to study and helped to boost my confidence.

I chose to do my master’s at Teesside University because I was impressed with its links with industry.

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

The university is very accommodating and supportive of students, especially for those studying a degree alongside a full or part time job.

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

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

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.

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

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.
