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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Middlesbrough is really student-focused, which made settling in so easy. And the gaming facilities are incredible.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.
