Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

I work as a social media executive at LADbible group, writing articles and interviewing some of the biggest names in sport.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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