Health & Life Sciences

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

Teesside allowed me to complete my studies and continue with family life.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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.

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.

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

I have gained great experience and confidence in practical applications, particularly working in lab and medical situations.

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

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 the best thing about my course. They provided a glimpse of what it’s like to be a qualified occupational therapist.

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
