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

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

I work as a social media executive at LADbible group, writing articles and interviewing some of the biggest names in sport.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I heard that Teesside was one of the best places to study visual effects so I visited an open day and that made my mind up.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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’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.

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

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.

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

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