Health & Life Sciences

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

This course equipped me with many valuable skills which allowed me to secure a job within the NHS and quickly adapt to my new role.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
