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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Teesside University is warm, welcoming and full of lots of incredible people, you'll be surprised how comfortable you feel here.

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

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

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.

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.'

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I use the skills I learned at university in my everyday work and will continue to use them throughout my career.

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.
