Health & Life Sciences

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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