The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

My time at University gave me the confidence and skills to achieve the goals I wanted from my choice in career.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.'

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