4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

It can vary. I never have NOTHING to do, which I like because otherwise I could be bored. But there are times when we have a lot of projects on and deadlines to meet where you just have to put your headphones and get on with your work.

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

The perfect balance! I have enough responsibility regarding handling projects, but not enough to the point I could ruin it! There are times when my supervisor goes on holiday so I have a lot more, but I enjoyed being able to step up and show what I am capable of.

The Culture

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

Yes massively. You tend to usually stick with who is in your team/on your floor. However the other interns I have met on this journey I have become incredibly close with. We have done things out side of work, visited eachother at home, and had sleepovers!
