Health & Life Sciences

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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 services are amazing, especially in career advice, student support and volunteering opportunities.
