Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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.

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

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