Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.'

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I use the skills I learned at university in my everyday work and will continue to use them throughout my career.

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.

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

I would recommend Teesside University and my course. It helped to get me where I am today.
