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

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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