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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
