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

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

The opportunity to work with industry professionals and gain direct exposure to cutting-edge equipment and techniques through workshops and projects was invaluable. For anyone looking to advance their career in bioprocessing or biotherapeutics, Teesside University is a fantastic choice.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.
