Health & Life Sciences

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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 am grateful for the exceptional support I received during my master's.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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