Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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 facilities at Teesside, including the motion capture studio, gave me valuable experience with technology that I would usually only encounter in industry.

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

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 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.

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

The course expanded my knowledge and helped me grow professionally in areas I never imagined. I did it, so can you.

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

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

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

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.

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.'

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.

The careers advice and guidance from my tutors regarding creating my CV and application letters has been significant in gaining interviews.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
