Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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

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.

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

I had an amazing time and I've continued to keep a close, personal connection with Teesside University. I am very proud of my roots and very excited to see the future talent the university is going to produce.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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