Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.'

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 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 had an amazing few years at Teesside. Everything I did 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 look back on my time with great fondness. Teesside University provided me with the greatest of life experiences.

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.
