Health & Life Sciences

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 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.

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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.

I was provided with so many opportunities and I hope to be able pass this on by mentoring Teesside University students in the future.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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