Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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 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 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 was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.'

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 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.

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

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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