Health & Life Sciences

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.

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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.

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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 University has such a wide range of extra-curriculum opportunities, which set you apart from other graduates.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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