Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

My time at University gave me the confidence and skills to achieve the goals I wanted from my choice in career.

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

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

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

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

Teesside University developed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging me to find surprising lateral solutions to briefs.

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

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 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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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