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 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.

I enjoyed the freedom to explore projects that complemented my skills and being able to expand my knowledge at my own pace.

My time at Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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