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

We had weekly check-in's not only to make sure that I knew exactly what I was doing but also to make sure that my needs and what I wanted out of the program was aligned with the tasks I was being given!

4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

As mentioned, I worked in a start-up, so every day was very busy, different and enjoyable!

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

Considering I was an intern, I was given a lot more responsibility than I expected. At first this was slightly daunting, but it really pushed me and helped me learn and incredible amount!

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

I learnt skills at this placement that would have been impossible to have learnt in textbooks at university. It has really opened my eyes to not only what life will be like after university but also to what is expected and these are skills which I think will help me greatly once I have graduated!
