Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

The placements were the best thing about my course. They provided a glimpse of what it’s like to be a qualified occupational therapist.

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

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

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

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.

My learning experiences and course structure at Teesside excelled my career growth. It was the perfect mixture of principle and practical learning.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 loved how hands on the course was straight away. We were practising on phantom heads within a matter of weeks and learning practical skills.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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