Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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’ve made great connections for the future which is important in this industry. It’s helped me by opening my eyes to the opportunities there are.

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.

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.

Since I’ve graduated I’ve worked at Amazon, Duco and Snap Inc – the company that owns Snapchat. I’ve been able to apply what I learned at Teesside University to each job.'

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.

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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 was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
