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.

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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’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.
