Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

There are some fantastic networking opportunities there and it has 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'd recommend it as a friendly place - both the university and town, with excellent, ambitious lecturers. It gave me a love of literature.

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.'

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The course expanded my knowledge and helped me grow professionally in areas I never imagined. I did it, so can you.

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

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.
