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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Teesside allowed me to complete my studies and continue with family life.

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.
