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

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

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

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

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.

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

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’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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 Teesside University helped me to understand my purpose in life.

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

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