Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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 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 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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

I would absolutely recommend Teesside to serving members of the military or those who have left. At the time of enrolling, I didn’t quite appreciate the support that I would be given throughout this course.

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