Health & Life Sciences

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 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.

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

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

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 think the work placement module was the most important module of my course – it gave me real insight about what I needed to do.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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