Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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

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.'
