Pros
decent facilities, reasonably good students, many staff are motivated when they arrive, very international, decent English in support staff, good help with visa and other HR issues.
Cons
excessive (and I mean it) admin load. heavy teaching load too, as a result very little time for research. VERY limited access to funding unless small university level funding. HoD had no respect for research time, keeps loading unneccessary admin on everyone, especially less favoured staff. staff are seen as expendable and readily replaceable so cannot disagree or complain about anything. no viable routes to address mistreatment and bullying as chain of line managers are friends having breakfast together every day. management has no problem with HoDs valuing personal loyalty over academic integrity and will not back staff trying to defend themselves against bullying. beware of overly positive reviews on this forum, they may only represent the marketing department. beware that education allowances will cover only a fraction of actual costs.
