Health & Life Sciences

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 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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The placements were the best thing about my course. They provided a glimpse of what it’s like to be a qualified occupational therapist.

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

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

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.

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

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

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...

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.

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

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