Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) are able to be employed to help deliver the Department's MEng Design Engineering programme. Duties range from delivering classes to marking assessments, to constructing catapults for practical assessments.
As a GTA, you will gain valuable teaching experience. Whether or not you intend to pursue an academic career beyond your PhD, working as a GTA will help you develop your communication skills and be a valuable asset to your CV.
At the beginning of each term, you need to discuss your GTA work with your supervisor, and consider the impact this will have on your PhD (both positive and negative).
