    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • There were times when I was so busy it was a little much as I have also been involved in a group intern project. However, there were also times when i didnt have that much too do. But this could also be because of the role that I was in.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I have been given lots of responsibility. Sometime perhaps to the point where I felt that I didnt feel I knew enough to be heading things up. Having said that it has helped me grow and I have learnt a lot about time management and working under pressure.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I have definately gained many skills working here this summer, from better time management, to being able to work with people on a better level. I think that it has also helped me understand my role in life and where I fit in the big picture

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The internship programme has been amazing, as we have been involved in so many overviews and been able to ask the questions that have been on our minds. There have also been many events for us to meet our fellow interns and graduates

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I have done quite a few Training Central courses and have been up to london to understand the bigger picture, so I feel that there has been training. However, there have been times when I have been a little on doing some projects as I only knew surface level information which can be quite tricky when answering detailed questions and emails.
