Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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.

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.

This course equipped me with many valuable skills which allowed me to secure a job within the NHS and quickly adapt to my new role.

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

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

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 allowed me to develop into a school nurse.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

Completing it allowed me to progress from a community staff nurse to a district nurse in my workplace.

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