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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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