Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The opportunity to work with industry professionals and gain direct exposure to cutting-edge equipment and techniques through workshops and projects was invaluable. For anyone looking to advance their career in bioprocessing or biotherapeutics, Teesside University is a fantastic choice.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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.

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

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

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

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.
