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 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.

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

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.

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