Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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