I had an amazing few years at Teesside. Everything I did led me to where I am now.

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

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

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.

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

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.
