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

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.

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

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.'

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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