Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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.'

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

It is one of the best universities in the world for creative industries and will continue to be so. Our lecturers were great at helping us succeed and linking us with industry.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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