The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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'd recommend it as a friendly place - both the university and town, with excellent, ambitious lecturers. It gave me a love of literature.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

I had an amazing few years at Teesside. Everything I did 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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