Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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'd recommend it as a friendly place - both the university and town, with excellent, ambitious lecturers. It gave me a love of literature.

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

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.

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

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.
