Health & Life Sciences

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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.

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

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

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 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.
