Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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 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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.'

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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