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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

I’ve got a great foundation on which to build on professionally, and it was a truly character-building experience.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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