Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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