Health & Life Sciences

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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