Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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 recommend Teesside University 100%. For a UK university with top notch teaching and research facilities and yet very affordable think Teesside University.

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

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.

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

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

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