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

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

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

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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 looked at different universities, Teesside stood out for the quality of its animation work and the number of graduates working in well-known studios.

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.'

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I look back on my time with great fondness. Teesside University provided me with the greatest of life experiences.
