Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 at Teesside, including the motion capture studio, gave me valuable experience with technology that I would usually only encounter in industry.

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

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

I now work as a nuclear defence manager for the Ministry of Defence, where I facilitate the production, design and maintenance of the current and future development of nuclear reactors

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

There are some fantastic networking opportunities there and it has led me to where I am now.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.
