Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
