Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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.'

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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