Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

Since I’ve graduated I’ve worked at Amazon, Duco and Snap Inc – the company that owns Snapchat. I’ve been able to apply what I learned at Teesside University to each job.'

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 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 was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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