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.

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

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.

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

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

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 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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.
