Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This course equipped me with many valuable skills which allowed me to secure a job within the NHS and quickly adapt to my new role.

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.

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

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

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