Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

I use the skills I learned at university in my everyday work and will continue to use them throughout my 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 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 would recommend Teesside University and my course. It helped to get me where I am today.

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

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.

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.

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

Teesside University is warm, welcoming and full of lots of incredible people, you'll be surprised how comfortable you feel here.

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.

Teesside opened up so many opportunities for me as student. And now as a business, Teesside University also offers opportunities such as networking events and business support.
