Teesside University Speciality : Computer Science
programme: Games Design

The university is well-equipped, loads of opportunities to upskill yourself. There’s plenty of catering outlets, on-campus accommodation. Security on-campus at times was hit/miss, not sure how it is now (you would have druggies in indoor parking back then).

I personally made plenty of industry connections in relation to my course, met friends that I still keep in touch regularly. I would’ve liked for module structure to be open (at least few years ago) my games course did not offer flexible optional modules to personalize the course like some other ones do. There’s fair few subject matter experts teaching the course, which is a bonus, but I believe the structure can be improved.

The course and campus life are great. The location Middlesbrough is a bit sad, feels like an old town. The work is a bit hectic but that’s expected from a master’s program. Overall I’m quite happy with the course.
