Health & Life Sciences

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.

I recommend Teesside University 100%. For a UK university with top notch teaching and research facilities and yet very affordable think Teesside University.

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

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...

In addition to gaining valuable hands-on experience, and great networking opportunities, I studied and worked with like-minded individuals who share the same goals and ambitions as me.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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