Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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.

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.

My time at university played a significant role in preparing 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The course is really interesting, and I feel like I will be well prepared for my first 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 am grateful for the exceptional support I received during my master's.

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.

This course provided me with the opportunity to design and conduct field work, giving me real hands-on experience. This was noted during my interview for RPS.

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

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

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

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

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

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