Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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

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.

The course expanded my knowledge and helped me grow professionally in areas I never imagined. I did it, so can you.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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