Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.
