Vis Awards
Our annual Vis Awards provide a fantastic opportunity for you to showcase your work.
Not only is it a chance to show other people what you can do in a prestigious competition, but there are also a number of internship and work experience opportunities available with a range of established and successful companies.
The Vis Awards, run by the School of Computing, are designed to recognise and reward animation, games, digital music and software development techniques.
They are open to undergraduate, postgraduate and research students.
Providing a unique career opportunity
The 2010 Vis Awards are sponsored by leading computer games publisher Ubisoft Reflections, who are offering a number of internships in games design, modelling, character animation and games programming.
Gareth Edmondson, Managing Director, Ubisoft Studios, says: 'Following our successful involvement last year, Ubisoft is again delighted to be sponsoring the Vis Awards at Teesside University for 2010. The University continues to take great strides in aiming to provide the best environment for students looking to become part of UK’s world-class development community, receiving the first accreditation of a BSc in England by Skillset for its Computer Games Programming course and its recent recognition as The Times’ Higher Education Awards University of the Year. Our sponsorship of this year’s awards demonstrates the commitment from both sides to help develop future professionals and provide the best opportunities for success.'
