Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I would recommend my course and profession all day long. There is nothing better than seeing the impact you’re making...

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I chose to do my master’s at Teesside University because I was impressed with its links with industry.
