Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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 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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 gave me the confidence and capability to reach my goals. I am forever grateful for my time there and to everyone who supported me.

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

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

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

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

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

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