Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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 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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Teesside opened up so many opportunities for me as student. And now as a business, Teesside University also offers opportunities such as networking events and business support.

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