Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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 was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

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

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