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

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.

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

The course offered value for money – it’s got me where I am today, and without it I would not have been able to benefit from these fantastic opportunities.

I would recommend Teesside University and my course. It helped to get me where I am today.

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 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 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.

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

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 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.

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

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

I’ve developed so many skills that will help me in the future

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

The course offered an optional work placement, where I could gain the exposure to the industry I needed, that would set me up for a role after graduating.

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

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 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.

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

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