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.

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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