My time at Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 developed so many skills that will help me in the future

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

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 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.
