Both the course and the facilities at Teesside University were outstanding.
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.
My time at Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.
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 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.
Without the University’s careers service and constant LinkedIn sessions, I wouldn’t have had a CV that would have impressed industry professionals.
I’ve developed so many skills that will help me in the future
Teesside University developed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging me to find surprising lateral solutions to briefs.

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

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.
