Health & Life Sciences

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 practicality of the course was the best thing.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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

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

The support from the tutors is excellent. They are professional, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic.

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

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.

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.
