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

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.

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

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.'

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
