Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
