Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.'

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

I had an amazing few years at Teesside. Everything I did 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.

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 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.

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