Health & Life Sciences

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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