Health & Life Sciences

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

My time at university played a significant role in preparing me for my career.

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

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

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.

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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.

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.
