Health & Life Sciences

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

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I had an amazing time, achieved a first-class honours degree and now I’ve got my dream job.

The classes inspired me to study and helped to boost my confidence.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.
