Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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 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.

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

Teesside University developed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging me to find surprising lateral solutions to briefs.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
