Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

The course is really interesting, and I feel like I will be well prepared for my first job.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

The course is really interesting, and I feel like I will be well prepared for my first job.
