Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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.

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.

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

The strength and conditioning internship, and my undergraduate course as a whole, was outstanding – both were fundamental to my development.

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

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 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.
