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

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

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

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

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

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