Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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