Health & Life Sciences

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.

My time at Teesside gave me the confidence and capability to reach my goals. I am forever grateful for my time there and to everyone who supported me.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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 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.

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