Inspired by an old video of a Toy Story animation, Joseph knew he wanted to get into
the world of creative media and games design. Now studying Level 3 Games and Media,
20-year-old Joseph is loving his course and has received all distinctions in his third
semester of the course.
When asked about his experience at Stockton Riverside College, Stockton-born Joseph
said: “I would recommend this course to anybody. It gives you a lot of great experience so
that you’re ready to move onto to university.” And that’s exactly what Joseph is doing
having been offered a place at Teesside University.
