Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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