Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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