Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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

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 looked at different universities, Teesside stood out for the quality of its animation work and the number of graduates working in well-known studios.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Teesside University is warm, welcoming and full of lots of incredible people, you'll be surprised how comfortable you feel here.

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 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.

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 University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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

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