Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.'

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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