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

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.

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’ve made great connections for the future which is important in this industry. It’s helped me by opening my eyes to the opportunities there are.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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 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

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 Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
