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

    • Teamwork was an incredibly important aspect and I will use this in the future for my studies. In addition, learning more about different industries such as insurance and going to Lloyds of London was an extremely enjoyable and insightful trip and the information gained will be very helpful in the future. !!
