Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.'

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

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’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.

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

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

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

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

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