Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

Both the course and the facilities at Teesside University were outstanding.

The facilities available on campus had everything I needed when I needed it.

The course offered an optional work placement, where I could gain the exposure to the industry I needed, that would set me up for a role after graduating.

I loved my course. I loved the fact it was very hands-on especially the News Days module. And I found that the teachers were very helpful throughout my studies.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

I had an amazing few years at Teesside. Everything I did led me to where I am now.

The industry links at Teesside are so valuable in securing your first job out of university – which can be a scary prospect – but if you ask for it the help is there and always willingly given.

One of the best things about the course was having lectures and briefs set by outsourced professionals such as Atomhawk and Ubisoft.

Middlesbrough is really student-focused, which made settling in so easy. And the gaming facilities are incredible.

I enjoyed the freedom to explore projects that complemented my skills and being able to expand my knowledge at my own pace.

Teesside University developed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging me to find surprising lateral solutions to briefs.

The careers advice and guidance from my tutors regarding creating my CV and application letters has been significant in gaining interviews.

When I go to new studios I always know people through the connections I made at Animex - it's definitely made me feel at home in the industry.

I look back on my time with great fondness. Teesside University provided me with the greatest of life experiences.

I’ve got a great foundation on which to build on professionally, and it was a truly character-building experience.

I now work as a nuclear defence manager for the Ministry of Defence, where I facilitate the production, design and maintenance of the current and future development of nuclear reactors

The course expanded my knowledge and helped me grow professionally in areas I never imagined. I did it, so can you.

I now work for a well-respected Solicitors as a Human Resources Coordinator and feel that going to University has been the best decision I have ever made.

My degree gave me the skills I needed for my career, from problem-solving in Maya to using other software at the university that I later used in my current job.

The course offered value for money – it’s got me where I am today, and without it I would not have been able to benefit from these fantastic opportunities.

I was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

The facilities at Teesside, including the motion capture studio, gave me valuable experience with technology that I would usually only encounter in industry.

I heard that Teesside was one of the best places to study visual effects so I visited an open day and that made my mind up.

My time at University gave me the confidence and skills to achieve the goals I wanted from my choice in career.

I had a lot of support from the placement and careers service. They often ran lectures on tips for CVs, interviews and networking sites such as LinkedIn.

I had an amazing time and I've continued to keep a close, personal connection with Teesside University. I am very proud of my roots and very excited to see the future talent the university is going to produce.

I would recommend Teesside. The course developed me a lot as a person technically and personally. The lecturers are all friendly and always happy to help out, and of course the area is great for nightlife.

My time at Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

Being able to decide on how I wanted to develop my own study was the best thing about the course.
