Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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.

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.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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