Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

It is one of the best universities in the world for creative industries and will continue to be so. Our lecturers were great at helping us succeed and linking us with industry.

Without the University’s careers service and constant LinkedIn sessions, I wouldn’t have had a CV that would have impressed industry professionals.

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.

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

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.

When I looked at different universities, Teesside stood out for the quality of its animation work and the number of graduates working in well-known studios.

After visiting the campus and meeting the course tutors it was a no brainer, this was the place for me to study.

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

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.

I’ve developed so many skills that will help me in the future

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

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

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.

I use the skills I learned at university in my everyday work and will continue to use them throughout my career.

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

I work as a social media executive at LADbible group, writing articles and interviewing some of the biggest names in sport.

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

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

I would recommend Teesside University and my course. It helped to get me where I am today.

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.

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

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.

I'd recommend it as a friendly place - both the university and town, with excellent, ambitious lecturers. It gave me a love of literature.

The course helped us to prepare for, and be mindful of, going into industry after graduation.

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.

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

I’ve made great connections for the future which is important in this industry. It’s helped me by opening my eyes to the opportunities there are.
