Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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