The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.
