Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

I would 100% recommend Teesside University and my course to anyone applying. Chemistry offers so many different career possibilities and the academic staff are there to support you through the entire process.

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

My time at uni was greatly enhanced by the support from wonderful lecturers who advised and prepared me for my career.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
