Health & Life Sciences

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 think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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