Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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