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

I’ve got a great foundation on which to build on professionally, and it was a truly character-building experience.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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