Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.'

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

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
