Health & Life Sciences

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 laboratory equipment and quality of lecturers were exceptional.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am now the first team strength and conditioning coach at Middlesbrough Women FC, where I am responsible for the long-term athletic development, and overall fitness of the squad.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

The support from the tutors is excellent. They are professional, knowledgeable and so enthusiastic.

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

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.

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.

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

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

The practicality of the course was the best thing.
