Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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

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.'
