Health & Life Sciences

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 placements were invaluable and core to achieving and augmenting the theoretical aspects of the course.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I am grateful for the exceptional support I received during my master's.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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.

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

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 think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.
