Health & Life Sciences

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Teesside University has been an amazing place to study - the facilities are second to none and the support systems are fabulous.

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.

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.

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

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