Health & Life Sciences

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I would recommend Teesside, it’s very supportive and there are so many opportunities available.

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

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

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

The opportunity to work with industry professionals and gain direct exposure to cutting-edge equipment and techniques through workshops and projects was invaluable. For anyone looking to advance their career in bioprocessing or biotherapeutics, Teesside University is a fantastic choice.
