Health & Life Sciences

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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