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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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 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.
