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

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.

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

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

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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Paul studied mechanical engineering and now works as a Lead Mechanical Engineer at Nifco.

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

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

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

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 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.
