Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
