Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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 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.

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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

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

I would recommend my course and profession all day long. There is nothing better than seeing the impact you’re making...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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