Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

I look back on my time with great fondness. Teesside University provided me with the greatest of life experiences.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I would recommend Teesside University and my course. It helped to get me where I am today.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.'

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

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