Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Teesside University has been an amazing place to study - the facilities are second to none and the support systems are fabulous.

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

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 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.

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