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.

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

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

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.'

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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