    4/5

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It won't assist me with my studies but this is because my degree is completely unrelated. The training was excellent and it felt like there was a lot of time and money invested in us.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very good social scene with the other interns, they were a excellent bunch of people. Only downside was that we didn't go out as much as it was equivalent of a 8 week job interview

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

    • I lived in London, which by nature is expensive but also so much fun. I did have more free food and Alcohol than I had ever had before.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife would be good but we were on the equivalent of a 8 week interview so didn't get the chance to utilise it that much.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There was a few opportunities although you had to find them yourself
