    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Informative and enjoyable, although due to some uncontrollable factors the focus of the placement did have to change. Managers always had proper tasks for me to be completing, so I never felt useless within the lab.

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

    • Hard to say about specific technical skills, as they are limited to specific equipment, but general time management and conflict resolution skills will be useful on all walks of life.
