Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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’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.

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.

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

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

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.
