In addition to these questions, is there any extra information you would like to leave about your experiences on your work placement that other students may be interested in?

It is a placement for those who are really into the things they do and are absolutely have an "able and want to do" attitude. If you do not like e-marketing, e-business, it is not your place, everything is internet related. If you do not afraid of html it is the best chose you could have. The placement could be sponsored (room, food, entertainment) by the company however it is basically a Voluntary not a Paid Internship.
