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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
