Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.'

Teesside University developed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging me to find surprising lateral solutions to briefs.

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

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