Health & Life Sciences

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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