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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

There are some fantastic networking opportunities there and it has led me 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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
