Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

My time at Teesside made me more confident in my work. It got me started with my contact network, which has been invaluable in the process of getting to where I am now.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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’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 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.

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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