Health & Life Sciences

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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.

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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