Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

The course helped us to prepare for, and be mindful of, going into industry after graduation.

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

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

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.

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Teesside University developed my design thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging me to find surprising lateral solutions to briefs.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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. 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’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.
