Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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