Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

I’ve developed so many skills that will help me in the future

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
