Health & Life Sciences

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.

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

My time at university played a significant role in preparing me for 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

The opportunity to work with industry professionals and gain direct exposure to cutting-edge equipment and techniques through workshops and projects was invaluable. For anyone looking to advance their career in bioprocessing or biotherapeutics, Teesside University is a fantastic choice.

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

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.

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.

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

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

I had an amazing time, achieved a first-class honours degree and now I’ve got my dream 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 university is very accommodating and supportive of students, especially for those studying a degree alongside a full or part time job.

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