Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
