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.

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

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

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

There are some fantastic networking opportunities there and it has 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.

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 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 Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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.

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

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.
