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

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.

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 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.

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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’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.

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 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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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