Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I would 100% recommend Teesside University and my course to anyone applying. Chemistry offers so many different career possibilities and the academic staff are there to support you through the entire process.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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

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