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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 looked at different universities, Teesside stood out for the quality of its animation work and the number of graduates working in well-known studios.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

My time at University gave me the confidence and skills to achieve the goals I wanted from my choice in career.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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