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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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