Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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