  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I have learnt will assist me in my third year of university and when doing my dissertation. I feel like I have developed so many skills which I wouldn't have gained without doing an internship. I feel confident about being successful on a graduate scheme as I already have some experience within a business. I have enjoyed applying the theory from my first and second year of university.
