Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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