Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.'

I'd recommend it as a friendly place - both the university and town, with excellent, ambitious lecturers. It gave me a love of literature.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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