Staff testimonials:
"When I applied for MSc Software Engineering at the National Software Academy, I hoped to learn some specific software engineering skills. I learned everything I was hoping to learn as well as a lot more than I expected, and I became a full stack developer after the first three months. I appreciate the opportunities for learning and for my career Cardiff University has given me. I even won the Engineering Talent Award in the category of Engineering Graduate of the Year 2023 provided by Equal Engineers and endorsed by the prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering."
“Despite working at the University for six years, this is my first role in the College of Physical Sciences and Engineering. I really enjoyed my previous role, so it felt like a big change moving Colleges and coming into a new School. However, I couldn't be more pleased about making the change! I feel very supported in my new role and have been given great opportunities for personal development. The School is going through a pretty substantial period of growth, which has its challenges, but it also feels exciting.”
“I have found myself in a positive working environment. I was supported by other teaching associates while adjusting to the new position and still feel supported by my line manager, module leaders, and the Teaching Associates team. I have a good working relationship with the module leaders I am with and feel comfortable engaging in dialogue about marking, assessment design, and student feedback.”
“It is wonderful to work in such a vibrant and exciting School, and to feel part of the future of Computer Science and Informatics. As a Professional Services colleague, I feel that my development is supported in a vast number of ways, but I have particularly enjoyed the encouragement from my line manager to attend relevant conferences and training courses where it would benefit both my professional development for the role and towards my future career. I’ve been fortunate enough to compress my hours to have every other Friday off work, which has massively improved my mental wellbeing and work life balance.”
