Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

Teesside allowed me to complete my studies and continue with family life.

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

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

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 loved how hands on the course was straight away. We were practising on phantom heads within a matter of weeks and learning practical skills.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

My further learning at Teesside University provided me with confidence and the ability to articulate gained knowledge.

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