Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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’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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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