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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.
