Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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 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 made great connections for the future which is important in this industry. It’s helped me by opening my eyes to the opportunities there are.
