Health & Life Sciences

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.

One of my proudest achievements during my studies was being awarded the Philip Goodeve-Docker award from the Queen’s Nursing Institute.

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

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

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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.

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

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

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

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.

The lecturers are amazing – they absolutely make university life what it is.

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

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

Completing it allowed me to progress from a community staff nurse to a district nurse in my workplace.

I would recommend my course and profession all day long. There is nothing better than seeing the impact you’re making...

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

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.

In addition to gaining valuable hands-on experience, and great networking opportunities, I studied and worked with like-minded individuals who share the same goals and ambitions as me.

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.

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