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

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.

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

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.'

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
