Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Both the course and the facilities at Teesside University were outstanding.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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 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.

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 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 now work for a well-respected Solicitors as a Human Resources Coordinator and feel that going to University has been the best decision I have ever made.

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

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.

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

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

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 was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.
