    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The project I was given was one that was actually required by the team and they supported me very well. I feel that they appreciated the hard work I put in.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given my own project on the internship and took on most of the responsibility for it. Although this was daunting at first, it turned out to be a great experience and has given me a real sense of achievement about the outcome of the project.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I don't think I have ever learnt as much in 10 weeks as I have during this internship. Being thrown in at the deep end has definitely made me learn very quickly and the variety of training given has been very good.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • At the beginning of the internship we were given lots of opportunities to meet the other interns and get to know each other. Since then there have been many evenings where we have organised social things.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Canary Wharf itself is fairly expensive but there are some cheaper places to be found further out.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Going into London is great but there isn't an awful lot in the immediate area of Canary Wharf

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Even though we were not full time employees, we were kept informed of company events such as charity and social events to get involved in.
