Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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