Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

My degree gave me the skills I needed for my career, from problem-solving in Maya to using other software at the university that I later used in my current job.

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

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

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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.

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.

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 course offered an optional work placement, where I could gain the exposure to the industry I needed, that would set me up for a role after graduating.

Since I’ve graduated I’ve worked at Amazon, Duco and Snap Inc – the company that owns Snapchat. I’ve been able to apply what I learned at Teesside University to each job.'

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 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.

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

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’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.

My time at Teesside made me more confident in my work. It got me started with my contact network, which has been invaluable in the process of getting to where I am now.

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

The course expanded my knowledge and helped me grow professionally in areas I never imagined. I did it, so can you.

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

Middlesbrough is really student-focused, which made settling in so easy. And the gaming facilities are incredible.

I'd recommend it as a friendly place - both the university and town, with excellent, ambitious lecturers. It gave me a love of literature.

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

My time at University gave me the confidence and skills to achieve the goals I wanted from my choice in career.
