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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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