Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

Paul studied mechanical engineering and now works as a Lead Mechanical Engineer at Nifco.

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 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.

There are some fantastic networking opportunities there and it has led me to where I am now.

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 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.

I had an amazing few years at Teesside. Everything I did led me 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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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 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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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