Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

My time at Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

It is one of the best universities in the world for creative industries and will continue to be so. Our lecturers were great at helping us succeed and linking us with industry.

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

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

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.
