Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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 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.

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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