Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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