Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
