Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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