Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

I look back on my time with great fondness. Teesside University provided me with the greatest of life experiences.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.'

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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