Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

I loved my course. I loved the fact it was very hands-on especially the News Days module. And I found that the teachers were very helpful throughout my studies.

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.

Without the University’s careers service and constant LinkedIn sessions, I wouldn’t have had a CV that would have impressed industry professionals.

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

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

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

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