Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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