Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 strength and conditioning internship, and my undergraduate course as a whole, was outstanding – both were fundamental to my development.

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

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.

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

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.

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