Health & Life Sciences

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

I would recommend Teesside, it’s very supportive and there are so many opportunities available.

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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