Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

My learning experiences and course structure at Teesside excelled my career growth. It was the perfect mixture of principle and practical learning.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
