Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

The thing I loved most about my time on the course was how I was able to really concentrate on developing the skills that I felt would help me progress into a future career.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Teesside University helped me get closer to my goals – from aspiring to work in the games industry to securing my first 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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