Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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 looked at different universities, Teesside stood out for the quality of its animation work and the number of graduates working in well-known studios.

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

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

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

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.

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.
