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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Teesside University helped me get closer to my goals – from aspiring to work in the games industry to securing my first job.

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

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

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

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

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