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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
