Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I had an amazing few years at Teesside. Everything I did 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The facilities at Teesside, including the motion capture studio, gave me valuable experience with technology that I would usually only encounter in industry.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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 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
