Both the course and the facilities at Teesside University were outstanding.

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 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.
