Pros

-scenic university -dynamic & intelligent graduate students hired at PhD level

Cons

- supervision process is a joke with absurd and arbitrary completion targets and little to no collaboration with competent student/staff - Highly toxic environment for students not supervised by senior staff - progess review teams do not have the necessary expertise to supervise project completion - teaching duties mostly disorganised. lecturers assemble teaching materials/datasets IN CLASS while undergrads wait - flood-level weather warnings and dire personal health concerns apparently not appropriate reasons for cancelling useless classes. undergraduates could easily cover material by themselves if adequate preparation went into teaching. - ceaseless emphasis on publication targets only to service supervisor's CV. Publication does NOT guarantee degree completion for students - please stop spreading this harmful message to students

Pros

It is in a beautiful location.

Cons

I used to love working for this uni, but it has slid in the last few years into a nightmare of financial mismanagement, bullying, endless restructuring, and exploiting precarious staff to an untenable degree.
