Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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 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.

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

I'd recommend it as a friendly place - both the university and town, with excellent, ambitious lecturers. It gave me a love of literature.

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.

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

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

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

Middlesbrough is really student-focused, which made settling in so easy. And the gaming facilities are incredible.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
