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

I work as a social media executive at LADbible group, writing articles and interviewing some of the biggest names in sport.

Since I’ve graduated I’ve worked at Amazon, Duco and Snap Inc – the company that owns Snapchat. I’ve been able to apply what I learned at Teesside University to each job.'

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

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.

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.

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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