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

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

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