Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

I was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.'

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.

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.

Paul studied mechanical engineering and now works as a Lead Mechanical Engineer at Nifco.

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

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

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

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

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