Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

Since I’ve graduated I’ve worked at Amazon, Duco and Snap Inc – the company that owns Snapchat. I’ve been able to apply what I learned at Teesside University to each job.'

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
