Neutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at University of Manchester full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Was an excellent place to study and develop skills during PhD due to very support and keen supervisor. Manchester, in general, has a lot of state of the art facilities.
Cons
If anything goes wrong during the PhD there are very limited services available to support the students during that process.
Advice to Management
Improvement is required in creating a more collaborated and an inspiring culture to work. The University of Manchester was the birthplace of Chemical engineering, therefore, should be a place where everyone feels the innovation in its culture and passion in every aspect of their work however this is generically not the case in the department, baring few exemptions.
