Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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.

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

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

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

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