Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

The course expanded my knowledge and helped me grow professionally in areas I never imagined. I did it, so can you.

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

There are some fantastic networking opportunities there and it has led me to where I am now.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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