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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.'

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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