Health & Life Sciences

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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