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

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.

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

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

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 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.
