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

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

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.
