Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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