Health & Life Sciences

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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 gained a strong skillset for a career in health research.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I love meeting new people and I've got an unrelenting need to be helpful, so nursing is the perfect profession for me.

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

Completing it allowed me to progress from a community staff nurse to a district nurse in my workplace.

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

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