Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

My time at Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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 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.

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.

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 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.
