Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 practicality of the course was the best thing.

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