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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

I want to be able to inspire other international students, as well as students from different backgrounds, to dream big and never give up on their goals - education is truly the passport to the future.

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.
