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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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