Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.'

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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

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.
