Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.'

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

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.

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

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

I had an amazing few years at Teesside. Everything I did led me to where I am now.

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.

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.

Middlesbrough is really student-focused, which made settling in so easy. And the gaming facilities are incredible.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.
