Surveyor Review

Very much so. I was kept busy the majority of the time and I felt inspired by all the different career options that I was made aware of. I would recommend the experience to anyone because it really gives you a feel for day to day life in the industry.

The programme is more of a personal learning experience rather than an opportunity to add significant value to the company; after all it's only a week long. Despite this there was a collective team ethos that I felt apart of and I was treated with respect from everyone from the graduates to the senior directors.

Pretty much as much as I needed. My mentor was always on hand to give me advice on how to complete various bits of work, and the open plan nature of the office really gives you the sense that all the work is a collective effort. The talks provided all the information regarding general advice and guidance that I could have possibly asked for.

In terms of skills there is only so much you can develop in such a short window of time. Despite this, I would consider the information I received invaluable both in terms of understanding the property industry at a more vocational level and in assisting with future applications to internships and graduate schemes.

Very well. A good mix of talks, tours, networking events and office responsibilities. Highly educational but also relaxed and social, with plenty of opportunities to engage with senior people as well as like minded students.

Friendly and fairly relaxed. As an insight student it's more of an educational experience than a test of your office competency and I felt that this was reflected in the reasonably laid back nature of the programme.

The City tour was fantastic and the organisation of all the talks and networking events reflected the high level of student investment.

Relative to the programme's length I felt I good a fairly good idea. However, I was not able to attend all the client meetings and site visits that I would do in a full time role.

Given that the programme was only a week long and that I was only working with one department I think a detailed understanding of company culture would have been an unrealistic expectation. On the other hand, relative to the programmes length I felt I developed a general idea about what Savills is all about.

Very helpful, although by no means definitive.

Up to £100 are allo0ctaed for lunch and travel expenses.

Plenty of opportunities. Drinks, a lunch and everyone operates with a revolving door policy so the opportunities are perpetual.

Very helpful.

Absolutely. My mentor was on hand to answer all my work and no-work related questions.

Absolutely.
