Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.'

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.
