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 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.

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

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

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 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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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