Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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