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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The facilities at Teesside, including the motion capture studio, gave me valuable experience with technology that I would usually only encounter in industry.

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

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.
