University of Glasgow Employer Reviews

Supporting the teaching staff with lessons for first and second year Earth Science students.I learned how to simplify complex ideas and present these ideas to the students. Well managed. Great opportunity to work with fellow honours students. Finishing was the hardest part of the job. The most enjoyable part of the job was inspiring the junior students – more... to continue in Earth Science. – less

Productive and fun workplace, co-workers were a family to enjoy being with. Working from excel spreadsheet and contacting clients from beginning of month with view to settlement by month end. Resolving issues and contacting Research Councils, email or telephone call to world wide sources. Job satisfaction.

Each day I was taught a new and different lab technique. I was in the lab for bout five six hours (not including lunch hour).

I learnt lots of lab techinques such as gel electrophoresis, and other transferrable skills such as working in a group, solo work and maintaining focus.

The people I worked with were friendly and fun. I was treated fairly by – more... everyone.

The hardest part of the job was definitely when we tried to do some of the lab techniques despite not knowing any of the theory behind it which made it confusing. – less
