2D Animation and Stop Motion MA

Teesside University

Best is how easily accessible facilities and uni buildings are Worst is the surrounding area may not feel too safe and the Uni actively using and promoting the use of generative AI for art

As a Master’s student in 3D Game Art at Teesside University, I am extremely satisfied with my learning experience here. The university is equipped with cutting-edge professional facilities, including industry-standard modeling and rendering software and hardware that fully support our academic and creative projects. The teaching staff are not only highly professional but also incredibly approachable, always ready to offer patient, targeted guidance and answer questions. The curriculum is well-structured, balancing theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice, and its content closely aligns with industry needs, effectively enhancing our professional skills. It is truly a rewarding educational journey. That said, a potential improvement could be to increase the number of industry guest lectures and workshops, as this would further bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world studio practices. Additionally, expanding the library’s collection of specialized game art resources would be greatly appreciated by students

The campus is very open, with many places to meet people and go for food. The societies offer a large variety. However, it is easy to feel lost if you've just arrived and don't know where anything is

All university buildings are located on one campus, which makes it incredibly quick and easy to locate and walk to different buildings. The campus heart is the central hub of the campus, which features the Student Life, Student Union and Library buildings. There are also many cafes serving a variety of foods, so you're never stuck if you need a bite to eat! Development is currently underway for "Digital Life". This building will be the new home for computing, VFX and animation students. This building intends to house industry standard computer labs and an events space which will be used for future events such as our international animation convention Animex.
