The placement started off well with team bonding and an induction week with the other interns. In the first few weeks I was given work and objectives but I completed these quickly. I did ask for more work and was given some but it wasn't enough. I was qui...
Overall, the 12 week internship was good, and I had the responsibility of delivering a multi-disciplinary project through its detailed design stage. This gave me valuable experience in defence product standards and general engineering standards, which sha...
I found there was some variety in tasks assigned and the work undertaken was generally useful, but would have preferred more actual design work, use of software, and use of degree and practical knowledge. Instead there was a lot of editing documentation, ...
I enjoyed the work when it related to my degree however there were often instances where I would be doing administrative work. The more I would ask for tasks the more enjoyable the tasks got. It was a good experience however due to the short duration of m...
Personally did not enjoy much of it, hours were long and often spent doing nothing, requests for more work were often ignored and when I did get work there was little training and guidance for me to get it done well. Other interns enjoyed the experience m...
Very engaging, variety of tasks to do and work did not seem pointless.
The work was very university course related and it gives you an experience into practising what you have learnt into a real world environment. Although during my internship there was a hold upon lots of jobs causing little work at times, for some that was...
This placement was a good mix of challenging and interesting, and the pay was decent too. I had plenty of work to do, so there was no danger of being bored. The flexible working was especially nice as it meant that I could beat all of the traffic to and f...
I would have to say that, overall, I have really enjoyed the internship and I feel that I have a gained a considerable amount of clarity in what path to take going into my final year of university. I feel that internships should ultimately give interns a ...
i have been really enjoying my placement so far, there have been lots of opportunities to lean new skills and work with lots of different people who have all been lovely and made the experience enjoyable as a whole. I really do enjoy getting up in the mor...
Really enjoyed my placement. Got to sample lots of different aspects/areas of engineering. Got the opportunity to travel and witness testing. Placement manager made sure I had opportunity to take part in training courses, supplier visits etc. Not just sat...
The work throughout the placement was challenging and helped me improve on skills and techniques I had learned throughout the first couple of years at the university course. I learned how these are applied and used in the real world enviroment.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my 12 months at BAE. It's worth noting that enjoyment levels increased as the months went on due to the changes in oneself as well as the increase in workload, knowledge and responsibility. Beyond my work the office I have be...
I did enjoy the placement and majority of time spent at the company. Mostly I enjoyed an opportunities to work in different teams and the very dynamic environment. I was often given a responsibility of tasks and I felt like I could take the full ownership...
I very much enjoyed my Placement at BAE Systems in the Air Sector. Throughout the year I was able to experience a number of areas within engineering as the year long industrial placement gives you the opportunity to take up three roles across the year. As...
The environment and people on sight were extremely friendly allowing an easy and enjoyable integration. The work I was given was interesting and I was able to take a lot away from my placement.
I really enjoyed my placement year at BAE Systems even though it wasn't directly related to my university subject. The types of projects I worked on were all very interesting and varied, as were customers and colleagues. I never had a bad experience!
After just a few weeks I began to really settle in and fully immerse myself in the development opportunities on offer, which were abundant. The team I was in were extremely welcoming and I thoroughly enjoyed my Internship.
