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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.'

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

There are some fantastic networking opportunities there and it has led me to where I am now.

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

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.

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