Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Being able to decide on how I wanted to develop my own study was the best thing about the course.

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

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.

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

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

My time at Teesside made me more confident in my work. It got me started with my contact network, which has been invaluable in the process of getting to where I am now.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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
