It was an amazing experience, the work was both challenging and interesting. There were a lot of opportunities for me to learn and work. They provided many resources to help us understand and adapt to the work culture and the business. Such as training co...
It was a great opportunity to learn more about how a large engineering company operates and what is needed to make things work. There were lots of opportunities to get involved in different areas of the business and most of the people were really helpful ...
The placement was a wonderful opportunity to learn new skills relevant to my degree under study. There is a real learning atmosphere around you when you start. Everyone is willing to help and aid you. The fact that you are not looked down upon or treated ...
I applied for and received an offer for the General Engineering placement year. The team I was allocated was at the complete other end of the spectrum to what I talked about in my interview, and was in the last area I would have picked in the company. ...
I enjoyed my placement much more than I was expecting to. I had a role that was very much hands on, spending approximately 50% of my time in the laboratory, and 50% at my desk. I believe this was a good balance, and suited me. There were approximately 10...
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship. I was fortunate enough to meet plenty of kind, interesting, knowledgeable people and carry meaningful work. I was able to develop many of the valuable skills I was hoping to use. I got to understand the company's operat...
The placement was great fun! Everyone was very welcoming and never hesitated to answer any of my questions. I've learned a lot during my time there, and look forward to hopefully returning!
It allowed me to see a different view on how sciences are used in the work place.
I gained valuable experience in working at the company and got to become a key member of the team. I didn’t feel like the added intern l, but just like any other member of the team. I was given important tasks and official deadlines to meet. This helped m...
Great place to work. I enjoyed the variety in my job and the level of responsibility I was given. Normally in internships, the intern is treated with less importance than the rest of the team but this internship was great as I really felt my team trusted ...
The placement was a great experience overall. I worked in the central manufacturing team which works with smaller manufacturing teams throughout the entire business. This, as well as a more hands-off manager allowed me to really tailor the internship to w...
Real experience, positive and progressive workforce.Amazing to see what the business environment was actually like. All employees loved working for the business and actually wanted to be there! Would definitely recommend to a friend or another student (I ...
I enjoyed the subject area I was tasked with, however, I felt that the pace of work was very slow (in the Bristol Defence function of the company) and there were not enough intermediate deliverables to keep me motivated. Although I was given direction whe...
The engineering summer internship was within the Fleet Development Team, in Derby (Civil Aerospace). Although on the whole the placement was ok, I wouldn't say it was extremely enjoyable, just a standard 9 to 5 style job. The work wasn't particularly insp...
I was located in Derby in the Civil Aerospace Assembly Factory for 10 weeks. The placement was very enjoyable, mainly due to the practical nature of the work (on the shop floor, interacting with fitters and having hands on experience with the engines). Al...
I absolutely loves this placement and it was a great length to complete over summer. I always felt welcome and involved in all of my work and my team were keen to get me to help out with all the work they were doing and the meetings that they had.
I found my 1 year placement to be incredibly enjoyable and challenging. I was given the opportunity to work on real world engineering and was contributing towards important company projects and was given plenty of important and enjoyable tasks and project...
The internship has been very enjoyable. For the most part it's very well organised with every intern being given a clear set of goals at the beginning (and plenty of opportunity for discussion if these aren't suitable). Overall a good place to work.
Very much. I've met any incredible people, made friends, learned many useful office skills and saw what my technical/academic skills are capable of in real life. I have found it very motivating to continue my degree with twice as much effort next Septembe...
It was amazing to see how I could use the knowledge and skills I have gained at university to real world situations in the workplace. I was given an in depth factory tour where I met many specialists who gave me an insight to their role in the production ...
