Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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

The strength and conditioning internship, and my undergraduate course as a whole, was outstanding – both were fundamental to my development.

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