Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

I now work as a nuclear defence manager for the Ministry of Defence, where I facilitate the production, design and maintenance of the current and future development of nuclear reactors

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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.

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.'

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
