Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gaining my degree and meeting inspirational people was the essential catalyst to 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 chose to do my master’s at Teesside University because I was impressed with its links with industry.

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.

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 would 100% recommend Teesside University and my course to anyone applying. Chemistry offers so many different career possibilities and the academic staff are there to support you through the entire process.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
