Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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.

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 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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.
