Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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. 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.

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

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.'

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

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

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

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.
