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 practicality of the course was the best thing.

I can say with certainty that without the skills I acquired at Teesside, I would not have been able to secure my current job role or move to Canada.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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