Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.
