Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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 was provided with so many opportunities and I hope to be able pass this on by mentoring Teesside University students in the future.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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