Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
