Health & Life Sciences

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

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...

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

My further learning at Teesside University provided me with confidence and the ability to articulate gained knowledge.

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

I was provided with so many opportunities and I hope to be able pass this on by mentoring Teesside University students in the future.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
