Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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