Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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

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.

There are some fantastic networking opportunities there and it has led me to where I am now.

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.

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

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.

Teesside University developed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging me to find surprising lateral solutions to briefs.

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.

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

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

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

I had an amazing time and I've continued to keep a close, personal connection with Teesside University. I am very proud of my roots and very excited to see the future talent the university is going to produce.

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 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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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