MEET A LECTURER
Would you like to be taught by a lecturer whose name you can find on the rolling credits of Star Wars?
First years at The University of Manchester are fortunate enough to count Dr Zahra Montazeri among our many exciting project supervisors. You can find her inspiring students and movie-goers with her hard work and talent every day.
"I really like the team project in first year. When you come to uni, you don’t know anyone, but being put into that team I made friends. My first-year project team are best friends actually, and we even mentor together!”
“I study in so many places across campus - the Engineering Building, Kilburn, Ali G. It sounds weird but every nook and cranny of this amazing place has personality.”
“Students here know how to code against the bare metal *and* how to talk to their teammates *and* how to organise a fab May Ball. It’s the best!”
FIRST YEAR PROJECTS
From party games and adventure quests to SQL and Java Script, a few of our students were kind enough to share the projects they are working on.
