Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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.

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.

Paul studied mechanical engineering and now works as a Lead Mechanical Engineer at Nifco.

The thing I loved most about my time on the course was how I was able to really concentrate on developing the skills that I felt would help me progress into a future career.

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.

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

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

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.

My time at Teesside made me more confident in my work. It got me started with my contact network, which has been invaluable in the process of getting to where I am now.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Teesside University helped me get closer to my goals – from aspiring to work in the games industry to securing my first job.

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

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.

Teesside University is warm, welcoming and full of lots of incredible people, you'll be surprised how comfortable you feel here.

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

Since I’ve graduated I’ve worked at Amazon, Duco and Snap Inc – the company that owns Snapchat. I’ve been able to apply what I learned at Teesside University to each job.'

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

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.

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

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