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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

I would recommend Teesside University and my course. It helped to get me where I am today.

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

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.

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

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

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.
