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

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 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 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.

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’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.

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

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

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 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 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 time at University gave me the confidence and skills to achieve the goals I wanted from my choice in career.

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

Teesside University developed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging me to find surprising lateral solutions to briefs.

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.

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

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

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

I'd recommend it as a friendly place - both the university and town, with excellent, ambitious lecturers. It gave me a love of literature.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

One of the best things about the course was having lectures and briefs set by outsourced professionals such as Atomhawk and Ubisoft.

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

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.
