Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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