Health & Life Sciences

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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

My time at university played a significant role in preparing 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.

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

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