Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I'm proud to say I'm already living my ambitions and Teesside played a big part in making that happen.
