Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I was provided with so many opportunities and I hope to be able pass this on by mentoring Teesside University students in the future.

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

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

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

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

The University has such a wide range of extra-curriculum opportunities, which set you apart from other graduates.

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

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.
