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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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.

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