Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies

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

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.

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

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.

The skills I gained at Teesside were invaluable.

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

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

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

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

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

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 was a bit nervous about coming as an international student initially, but Teesside has a good mix of cultures which made me more comfortable.

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

I would recommend Teesside. The course developed me a lot as a person technically and personally. The lecturers are all friendly and always happy to help out, and of course the area is great for nightlife.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
