Health & Life Sciences

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Being a sport scientist is about so much more than domain subject knowledge.

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.

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

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

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

Teesside University has been an amazing place to study - the facilities are second to none and the support systems are fabulous.

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.
