Health & Life Sciences

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

My course was varied and covered a wide range of topics. Modules were delivered by knowledgeable lecturers who had a great deal of experience within the forensic science field.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I was provided with so many opportunities and I hope to be able pass this on by mentoring Teesside University students in the future.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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