Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.
