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

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

    • Perhaps a little too busy, but at least I learned a lot during the placement. I was thrown in at the deep end but that's how I prefer to learn so I think it was for the best.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility, I had mixed rolls with marketing and events, and was given the opportunity to run with my own events but also ensure I had enough supervision from the team.

    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 think the whole experience has given me more experience than I initially got during my degree. It was really good.

    The Culture

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

    • There are not many other placement students but with colleagues there was a good atmosphere, often went out for after work drinks when we were not busy but this was more difficult during the summer.

    5/5

    3/5
