Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

Teesside University has been an amazing place to study - the facilities are second to none and the support systems are fabulous.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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