Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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

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. 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
