Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm proud to say I'm already living my ambitions and Teesside played a big part in making that happen.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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