Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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 University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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