What our students say

Marie Enfrin

Chemical and Process Engineering PhD

I published four well-received peer-reviewed papers during my thesis and presented the key results at several industry workshops, academic conferences and media interviews in the UK and Australia.

Dr Alan Millington

Chemical Engineering PhD

The confidence I got from realising that I could learn at this level was important. I also became more independent because I had to manage living on a budget and sharing accommodation with other people.
