Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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